Description

"Ultra-ripe pineapple on the nose and throughout. I LOVE it. Lovely texture and soft, juicy, super-concentrated fruits with electric acidity and mineral tension. I swore in my tasting note at this point. Glorious. There's herbs too, following up on the finish. Elegance and bright vivacious charm. This is it. Right now. Tuck in."

('Three Wine Men' - Oz Clarke, Tim Atkin, Olly Smith)

Bodegas Castro Martin

Bodegas Castro Martin stands proudly as a family business still managed on a day-to-day basis by the descendants of its original founder. Domingo Martin was something of a pioneer, having the foresight (and courage) to invest in the future of his village and region, he is one of the original founders of the Rias Baixas Denomination – this is his true legacy. Today his descendant Angela Martin runs the family business and is a key figure in the Rias Baixas community.

Galicia

Galicia, located in the northwest of Spain, is renowned for its distinctive and high-quality wines, benefiting from a unique climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The region's cool, wet conditions and lush landscapes create an ideal environment for viticulture.
It is particularly famous for its exceptional white wines, notably from the Albariño grape, which produces crisp, aromatic wines with vibrant acidity and notes of citrus and stone fruit. The area also produces high-quality reds from varieties such as Mencía, known for its fresh, fruity character and subtle tannins.
Historically, Galicia’s winemaking tradition dates back to Roman times, but the region began to gain wider recognition in the late 20th century.
