As well as their work in pioneering the whites of Galicia, Luciano Amoedo and Katia Álvarez of Martín Códax also make this red wine in Bierzo. The Bierzo DO lies further inland from Rías Baixas, with a slightly warmer climate where Mencía is the native variety.

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. It is a 100% Mencía from grapes chosen from the over 80 year old vines found in vineyards located in the high areas of the Bierzo region.

Cuatro Pasos, Mencia, 2010
Bodegas Martin Codax

Per item: £10.75

Savoury herbs, light pepper, spice and smooth oak flavours blend well with fresh cherry, plum and blackcurrant fruits to make a complex and thoroughly enjoyable wine. This wine shows tremendous value. The Mencia grape is aka Jaen and is a great match with Lamb.

Godello, Mara Martin, 2012
Bodegas Martin Codax

Per item: £11.00

Aromas of hay, apple & pear dominate with intense hints of wild flowers & subtle nuances of lime & citrus. Intense & upfront palate, with an attractive depth & structure that derives from lees contact & a long, persistent finish. Terrific wine from young winemaker, Katia Alvarez.
