Martín Códax was named after a Galician troubadour whose medieval poems are love songs to the sea. If the soil and the sun are the main characters in the story of Albariño, then the sea is the supporting act. The wild Atlantic coastline forces growers up to high altitudes, the sea tempering the climate so it’s damper and cooler than neighbouring regions. This Albariño is Rías Baixas in a bottle. The grapes are grown in terrifyingly steep amphitheatres overlooking the waves – you can imagine you can taste the salt in the air in your glass. Peachy. Citrussy. Fresh. It’s the perfect seaside wine, so it’s no surprise that it’s made for seafood – for octopus, for piles of clams and hard-won goose barnacles, a Galician speciality.
The appearance is bright, clean and with golden reflections.
Citric and fruity (green apple) nose, with an important balsamic note (aromatic herbs…).
The varietal aromas are perfectly balanced with the lees and bakery notes created during the aging.
11.5% ABV
