Descripción

Es en la ría de Arousa donde el Atlántico se funde con la tierra para dictar el carácter de este vino único. Martín Códax rinde homenaje a la costa gallega que da forma a su identidad, a esos viñedos que respiran el salitre y la brisa directa de la ría. Se trata de un albariño que se presenta como una joya vertical y tensional. Su crianza sobre lías le aporta el volumen justo para equilibrar una acidez eléctrica, con un inconfundible final salino y largo que perdura en la memoria.

Opinión de los críticos

Tim Atkin:

Arousa is very much an Atlantic wine, sourced from 30 parcels close to the waves in Cambados. Slightly richer than the 2021 release, this has lovely texture, some leesy midpalate weight, aromas of seaweed and oyster shell and a pithy, focused, saline palate. Mouth-wateringly fresh and ageing very gracefully. 2025-30

Decanter:

This is probably my favourite wine from Rías Baixas’ leading cooperative. As part of a new range focusing on specific sites and landscapes, Arousa Albariño aims to capture the essence of vineyards near the Arousa estuary at the mouth of river Umia. Pure and clean, with notes of salt water, wet stones, ripe fruit and bay leaves. Juicy, precise and persistent.

James Suckling:

This comes from plots in the delta of the Umia River, the bottom of the vineyard getting slightly wet when the tide rises. Crisp with lots of salinity, this is nervy, bright and very approachable. Drink now or hold.
