A carefully selected mixture of aromatic plants is then infused into the distillate, including aniseed, thyme, tea and camomile, creating the liqueur's characteristic green-gold colour and broad herbal perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe infusion is balanced with measured sweetness so that the botanicals remain clear without becoming medicinal. Fresh acidity and fine balsamic notes keep the texture lively, distinguishing Hierbas from the unflavoured Orujo Blanco and the fruit-led Original recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright greenish yellow with golden reflections and excellent clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAniseed and fresh mint lead into thyme, camomile and tea leaf, with softer balsamic and citrus notes adding aromatic breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth and moderately sweet, with cooling herbs balanced by fresh acidity and a gentle bitter edge. Fennel, anise and camomile linger through a clean, complex finish that remains warming without feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled in a small glass as a digestif, or pour over a single cube of ice. Its herbal profile works particularly well after rich seafood or pork dishes and alongside lemon biscuits, almond cake or a square of white chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMar de Frades was established in 1987 in the Val do Salnés, where Atlantic weather and granite soils have made Albariño the defining local grape. Distilling the pomace after winemaking connects the modern estate to a much older Galician practice of transforming the harvest's remains into aguardiente.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHierbas is the most botanical expression in the Mar de Frades spirits range. The infusion of familiar aromatic plants gives the liqueur a vivid sense of Galicia's after-dinner tradition, while controlled sweetness and clean distillation keep the result polished and contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mar de Frades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7849039724604,"sku":"ORUJHIER","price":29.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/mar-de-frades-orujo-hierbas-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791377429","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/orujo-hierbas","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
