Martín Codax Arousa is a white wine with a marked saline, iodized and Atlantic character. It is a persistent and deep wine, with aromas reminiscent of Galician coastal plants such as salicornia and sea fennel. This wine is born from a methodical selection of plots caressed by the sea, in the area of San Tomé in Cambados. Its vineyards grow at the mouth of Umia, cultivated by winegrowers with a long seafaring and fishing tradition.
