Tasting note
Bright and clean with an intense yellow colour and a delicate bubble. Intense and creamy on the nose. Citrus nuances in balance with the ripe fruit aromas of the Albariño. Creamy notes of pastries and bakery. Delicate and creamy on the palate, with a persistent well-integrated bubble. Balsamic and saline notes reappear on the finish.
Unique Selling Point
An amazing sparkling made from 100% Albariño grape from a selected early harvest to guarantee its freshness and wonderful balance. The varietal aromas are perfectly aligned with the bakery notes from the ageing on lees.
Vineyard
Our vineyards are small plots of land, because of our traditional inheritance system, parents divided their land to give a piece to each one of their children Another characteristic trait is the trellis system (emparrado), where vines are horizontally trained. This is the best system for the grapes because by hanging horizontally, they escape from the soils humidity from the frequent showers, while the Atlantic breezes keep the grapes nice and dry. This also allows them to get more sun exposure
Viticulture
To produce our sparkling Martín Códax, we have made a selected harvest at the beginning of September, ten days before the conventional one to guarantee its freshness and balance. Classification: Brut, 10 gr/l of residual sugar.
Vinification
Made from an early harvest. Following the traditional method, the second fermentation in bottle is done slowly with a through temperature control, allowing the bubble to be naturally created. It then undergoes a 39 month ageing on lees before disgorgement, giving the aromatic complexity to flavour a perfectly integrated, very fine and elegant bubble.
Food Match
Seafood, fish and soft cheese.
