Martin Codax Mara Martin Godello Monterrei

Martin Codax, winemaker of this white Mara Martin Godello, Monterrei, earned his fame with the Albariño grape. But the house wants to showcase more of Spain and is launching a white wine made with the Godello grape from Monterrei. The Monterrei wine region is located in the Galician wine region, where the climate is very different from its home base. The mountains protect the grapes from heavy rainfall, allowing the Godello grapes to benefit more from dry periods. This is necessary, as this grape doesn't like wet feet.
