Tasting note
The apperance is bright, clean with golden reflections. Citrus and fruity (green apple) aroma, significant balsamic hint (aromatic herbs). Varietal scents harmonize with lees, bakery notes from ageing. Palate: creamy lees prominence, integrated lively bubble, freshness, persistence.
Viticulture
To produce the Sparkling Martín Códax, the winery went for a selected harvest at the beginning of September, ten days before the conventional one to guarantee its freshness and balance. Classification: Brut, 10 gr/l of residual sugar.
Vinification
The wine ages on lees for 30 months, enhancing aromatic complexity and bubble integration. Traditional champanoise method with slow, controlled bottle fermentation after 3 months on lees before production. Disgorged after October tirage.
Food Match
Rice dishes, fish, soft sauces, white meats, partly cured cheeses
