M DE MARIÀ (High Profile)
DO Rias Baixas
Expanding the range of high-quality wines and recognizing the great potential offered by Pablo Ibañez, oenologist, and Arturo Conde, viticulturist and winemaker at Celler Aldea de Abaixo in O Rosal, the top-tier Albariño arrives, giving Gran Anyada prestige and quality. The small percentage of the Loureiro (10%) and Caiño (5%) varieties enhances the main variety, a carefully selected Albariño from old vines, and meticulously crafted with 11 months on fine lees.

Area geographically limited by the Atlantic Ocean, river Miño and mountains, which protect it from winds coming from the North. Tall, trellised vines, in the shape of a roof due to humidity in abundant calcareous stones soil but with a slightly acid composition.
-
Manually harvested and crio-macerated grapes. Low-pressed and controlled fermentation at 16ºC for about 18 days. Aged for 7 months in fine lees. 4 years shelf life, inerting process and sterilization by plates.
-
M de MARIÀ is a wine of maximum intensity and aromatic quality, with an emphasis on white flowers, a pleasant salinity and hints of green apple and stone fruits. Fine, balanced mouthfeel with great structure thanks to its well integrated and composed acidity. Its well-integrated acidity makes way to a very elegant wine which makes you want to reach for your glass once again.
