Product Description
Martín Códax is very much riding the ‘New Wave’ of modern Spanish winemaking. As well as their work in pioneering the whites of Galicia, winemakers Luciano Amoedo and Katia Álvarez also make a robust, lively and modestly priced Bierzo from the native Mencía variety. The Bierzo DO lies to the east of Rías Baixas and has a slightly warmer climate. The fruit for ‘Cuatro Pasos’ is sourced from 80 year old Mencía vines, grown in the high areas of the region. The discovery of four bear footprints in a magnificent vineyard in the highest areas of the Bierzo inspired the name of this wine – Cuatro Pasos or Four Steps.
Intense morello cherry red with a wide rim. Excellent blend of red fruit notes, toasted spicy and smoked notes. Tasty, full-bodied and balanced. Intergrated tannins and a mineral finish.
