Bodegas Martín Códax

Martín Códax is the most important co-op in Galicia, encompassing over 270 members and 300 more families from whom it buys grapes. The winery was founded in 1985 by 50 winegrowers who saw the potential of Albariño as a grape and banded together to make wine. They took the name of Martín Códax, a Galician troubadour from the mid-13th century who composed original songs in the medieval Galician-Portuguese language. Now, the winery processes over 5 million kilos of grapes each year with a production of around 3.5 million liters and an export presence in 40 countries.
