{"product_id":"albarino-martin-codax-2025-75cl","title":"Albariño, Martín Códax 2025 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the wine that made Rías Baixas famous in Britain — Martín Códax's flagship Albariño, named after a 13th-century Galician troubadour and made by a cooperative of growers who quite literally farm with the tide. It is the definitive introduction to Spain's great Atlantic white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVal do Salnés sits right on the Galician coast, cool and rain-washed, and Albariño thrives on the salt air and granite soils. Martín Códax ferment this in stainless steel to keep everything pure and fresh — no oak, nothing to blur the fruit or the sea-spray character that defines the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it and you get a bright, fragrant glass: green apple and peach on the nose, a squeeze of lemon, a floral, faintly nutty lift. The palate is light and precise — pear, ripe apple, a dash of stone fruit and that unmistakable saline tang, all held by clean, bright acidity that keeps you coming back. The finish is fresh and lip-smacking. Uncomplicated in the best sense, and genuinely refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a house-pour Albariño — the bottle for a warm evening, a plate of shellfish, or simply drinking on its own while the sun is out. At around £17 it is dependable, well-made and priced exactly right for everyday drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe properly cold, 7–10°C, in a standard white-wine glass. No decanting; drink it as young and fresh as you can find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ Sheekey for oysters and this in hand. Scott's in Mayfair for the seafood platter. Dandy on Maltby Street for a relaxed glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbariño and shellfish is one of wine's great certainties — think grilled prawns, clams, or a dozen oysters. It is also lovely with fried calamari, the acidity cutting straight through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925308059972,"sku":"HO33502B25","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO33502B25.png?v=1784036842","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/albarino-martin-codax-2025-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
