About Martín Códax Organistrum

Martín Codax Organistrum is a white wine from the D.O. Rías Baixas made by Martín Codax. This wine is named after this unique instrument (Organistrum) that needs to be played by two people. Only two replicas exist now and one of them is used by the Grupo de Música Antiga Martín Códax in their performances.

This wine has been made with a selection of grapes from southeast facing vineyards. It's partially made in the barrel.
After the fermentation, the wine ages for four months in Allier French oak barels. During the first month and a half the battonage technique is applied. Once both fermentations finish, it is kept in stainless steel deposits for 8 months to achieve a good integration.

The winery took the name of a famous troubadour from Galicia, Martín Códax whose songs are some of the oldest in the entire Galician-Portuguese language.

2020 Martín Códax Organistrum 2020 is a white wine that, upon olfaction, reveals a significant fruit-laden bouquet complemented by herbaceous undertones and a delicately integrated hint of oak. Upon tasting, it envelops the palate with a smooth and silky texture, traversing in a sophisticated manner while reaffirming its fruity opulence. This white wine is flavorful, with precise acidity and a broad spectrum of nuances.
2011 This wine is elegant on the palate with broad attack. Very well supported by toasted notes and fruit which evolve well, and an integrated acidity. This wine requires time to open up and show its aromatic potential of green fruit with herbal notes on a vanilla background. Long finish thanks to the clean, fruity notes felt at retro-olfaction that prolong the nuance.

Intense straw yellow colour with with golden glimmers. Clean and bright. Dense and flowing tears on the glass show its glyceric character.

Medium-intensity nose with complex fruity aromas and a lightly toasted background. Vegetal notes stand out along with clean notes of wood.
2009 A well-bodied wine with a very good and wide attack and a silky, unctuous, tasty, fresh and dry mid palate. The notes of fruit and wood are very well integrated. It has an excellent acidity and a long and persistent finish which leaves toasted sensations. An elegant wine that will surprise us.

Pale straw yellow colour with golden reflections. Clean and bright wine with unctuous, dense tears.

Good aromatic intensity that gains in complexity when the wine opens up. The aromas of stone fruit and citrus with a touch of tropical fruit are mixed with the notes provided by the wood: vanilla, cedar, nuts and refined toasted notes. Light hints of nuts and some honey touches are also felt and provide a good complexity to this wine. Its fresh herbal background is dominated by fresh, wet and freshly cut green herbs.
2008 In the mouth, its elegance leaves no one indifferent. Large attack and silky and intense mid palate with notes of ripening fruit and toasted. Integrated acidity and lingering finish.

Pale straw yellow with light golden sparkles.

Medium intensity with complex aromas. An important load of fruit is noticed along with delicate concentrated aromas on a slightly toasted background. Notes of green herbs.
