Martín Códax

Martín Códax was founded in 1986 by a group of winemakers. Today it comprises around 2,400 tiny vineyard parcels managed by 550 families in Rías Baixas and located in Val do Salnés subzone. The subzone sits five kilometres from the sea and benefits from its cooling influence at night, which ensures the fresh acidity and pure aromatics of the grapes are retained to balance the ripeness and weight derived from the warm days. The co-operative was instrumental in the creation of the Rías Baixas DO in 1988 and has championed and conducted extensive research into the Albariño variety.
