Mar de Frades means "the monks’ sea" in Galician. The winery was founded in 1987 by the Ría Arousa, where pilgrims in the past would land on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

The winery was a pioneer in Val do Salnés, where the story of the Albariño grape begins, and the wine is a pure expression of the grape and the fresh Atlantic climate. The distinctive blue bottle has become an icon.
