Buy or order Martin Codax wine

Martin Codax Winery has an impressive history. It all began in the mid-1980s in the far southeast of Spain: Rías Baixas. A group of winegrowers decided to join forces in 1986 to put Rías Baixas wines on the map. Through intensive collaboration, they were able to produce superior wines. Thanks to the choices made back then, both Martin Codax and Rías Baixas wines are now considered the finest white wines from Spain. American wine drinkers, in particular, are drawn to Rías Baixas wines.

Martin Codax from Rias Baixas

The Martin Codax winery is named after a mythical poet. Legend has it that a Galician troubadour lived in this part of Spain around the 13th or 14th century. Many wild stories circulate about him. The founders of Martin Codax wanted to give these stories a face, and they have succeeded with this winery. Today, the name Martin Codax is primarily associated with beautiful wines from Rías Baixas. Something the winemakers are still quite proud of.

Rias Baixas wine from Martin Codax

The Rías Baixas region feels a bit out of place compared to the rest of Spain. While most people adore Spain for its warm climate and countless hours of sunshine, Rías Baixas doesn't feel like you're in Spain. The climate is harsh and cold. The average temperature is only 13 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the wind blows almost constantly thanks to the Atlantic Ocean. However, the local hero, the Albarino, absolutely loves this climate. It's no wonder that over 90% of the area is planted with this aromatic white grape.
