Product Marketing Hailing from Rías Baixas, an Atlantic coastal region in Spain, this Albariño from Bodegas Martin Codax showcases the unique maritime character of the Val do Salnés subregion. Named after the medieval troubadour Martín Códax, the wine captures the essence of Galicia’s granite-based soils and cool, wet climate. Grapes are sourced from Val do Salnés, the birthplace of Albariño, where the proximity to the sea imparts freshness and salinity, while granitic soils add minerality.
The 2023 vintage offers a vivid straw-yellow hue with green reflections, releasing intense aromas of white stone fruits and white flowers. On the palate, it is rounded and full-bodied, with a light petillance that enhances its vivacious freshness. The finish is persistent, balancing acidity with fruitiness and a subtle saline note. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity, this 100% Albariño pairs perfectly with seafood, white meat, and dishes highlighting coastal flavors. Rated 89/100 by critics, it embodies the elegance and crispness that define Rías Baixas Albariño.
