Martin Codax Albarino

Description

Martin Codax Albarino

Martin Codax Albarino is a pale lemon colour with hints of green – the nose is fresh, with pure apricot, pear and lemon notes.

The crisp, lively palate of  Martin Codax Albarino is medium-full bodied with appealing lime, lemon and pear flavours that are matched by a hint of cream complexity on the lingering finish.

Martín Códax is a modern and dynamic co-operative, situated to the north of Rías Baixas.  It is the largest producer in Galicia and an estate-grown Albariño specialist, conducting on going research into the variety.

Martín Códax was founded in 1986 by 50 families, led by ninth generation winemaker Luciano Amoedo and has since grown to over 550 members.

Bodegas Martín Códax was founded in 1986 and was named after the most known Galician troubadour whose medieval poems, the oldest of Galician-Portuguese language, are preserved.

In the poems, the troubadour sings to love and to the sea of our coastline. http://www.martincodax.com/blog/en/bodega/

Since it’s founding, Bodegas Martín Códax has grown and developed; always supporting its people, its land and its culture. The culture is promoted in more than 40 countries over the world.

A project that started with the dream and efforts of a group of winegrowers is now a reality and it is this reality which has let Bodegas Martín Códax become a symbol of Galician wines inside or outside of our borders/country.

From the beginning Martín Códax established a dialogue and a link with the Salnés’ Valley society, where its winery is located.

The winery was founded thanks to the idea of a group of winegrowers; as a winery made by people for the people. Set up by 270 members, the winery also relies on the collaboration of 300 families whose grapes are supplied to us.

As a big family, we work together in order to ensure our wines have the highest possible quality.

Commitment with the culture.
Martin Códax is linked to art and culture because from the beginning, the winery has supported all types of cultural and art expressions; from the most traditional ones to the most vanguard in the last few years.
In this way, the winery has taken Galician culture to all of the parts of the world where Martín Códax is available.

Commitment with the environment
Martín Códax focuses on the environment, always looking for the sustainable option and reducing its carbon footprint.

Actually, its I+d+i projects are channeled to reduce the environmental impact in viticulture and to combat the effects of climate change.

Promoting sustainability is an objective for all of the winery staff making this a priority of all the members of the enterprise.
