Description

Vivid straw-yellow green colour with a touch of ripe lemon. Bright and slightly sparkling. Intense and elegant aroma with hints of fresh herbs, green apples, citric fruits and grapefruit. It is persistent, rounded and full-bodied, with a light petillance that gives the wine an impressive and vivacious sense of freshness.

Martin Codax is a straight albarino and it is produced following a rigorous and meticulous process in order to guarantee its varietal pureness and the traditional essence of the Salnés Valley original wines.

White “MARTIN CODAX” Albarino takes its name from a 13th century Galician minstrel whose poems evoke the gallant love and passion for the sea. The canticles by “Martin Codax” are the oldest of all the Galician-Portuguese poems to preserve their original music. The manuscript where they are recorded, known as the “Vindel Parchment”, is preserved in the Morgan Library in New York.
