MARTIN CODAX LIAS

Martín Códax Lías has been distinguished six times as "Best Spanish unoaked white wine of the year" by the Spanish Association of Wine Journalists and Writers (AEPEV). Martín Códax Lías has great ageing potential to continue developing and evolving in bottle, being able to reach an even greater complexity. VINIFICATION Grapes for Martín Códax Lías come from a thorough selection of specially balanced vineyards: plots with less yield and a higher sun exposure to help develop the aromatic complexity of the grape. In order to extract all of its potential, it is hand-harvested and cooled for 48 hours. Whole cluster pressed, only the first part of that pressing, which has been made at very low pressure, is selected. Once the alcoholic fermentation is over, the wine ages on lees for 6-7 months. Then, it is kept in stainless steel vats for 12 months, so the lees and varietal aromas are balanced together
