Martín Códax Espumoso 2020

About the Wine
Martín Códax Espumoso is a brut sparkling wine made from 100% Albariño grapes grown in the Val do Salnés subregion of D.O. Rías Baixas. This wine is crafted using the traditional method, with a second fermentation taking place in the bottle under controlled temperature to naturally form its fine bubbles. The grapes are harvested early to ensure freshness and balance—key traits for sparkling wine production. After bottling, the wine undergoes a long lees-aging process lasting 38 months before disgorgement, which contributes to its aromatic depth and creamy mouthfeel. It contains 12% alcohol by volume and is best served between 6°C and 8°C.
