Martín Codax 2023

The most emblematic wine of this winery, the one of the same name. Probably one of the best-known Albariños in the Rías Baixas appellation. Produced from selected plots in the Salnés valley.
It is an Albariño that is successful inside and outside our borders, with a very important market and recognition in the United States.
The varietal purity and the traditional essence of the original wines of the Valley in the bottle.

TASTING NOTES

Clean, bright lemon yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, medium intensity with ripe citrus notes such as lime and mandarin. The floral note (hawthorn, jasmine and orange blossom) and a hay-like herbaceous background predominate. At wedding it is enveloping, fresh and with good balance. The retronasal recalls the note of ripe citrus fruit.

WINEMAKING

Martín Códax Albariño is made entirely from Albariño grapes, following a rigorous and careful process to guarantee its varietal purity and the traditional essence of the wines originating from Salnés.

CURIOSITIES

Martín Códax, the character who gave his name to this Albariño, was one of the most important Galician troubadours of the Middle Ages. The Vindel Parchment houses his cantigas, the oldest of the Galician-Portuguese cantigas, which extol the love and passion for the sea.
