Bodegas Castro Martín is a renowned producer of Albariño wines located in the heart of the Salnes Valley, within the prestigious sub-zone of Rías Baixa in Spain. The name of the region is derived from its close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which lends a distinct salty character to the wines produced here.
Nestled in pure granitic sands, the vineyards of Bodegas Castro Martín have been in operation since 1887, making it one of the oldest wineries in the region. What sets this family-owned and operated bodega apart is their commitment to traditional methods and techniques, passed down through generations. The current owner and winemaker, Angela Martín, takes great pride in upholding the legacy of her family and continues to produce exceptional Albariño wines.
The winery itself is a testament to innovation and foresight, having been designed to facilitate the movement of wine using gravity. In fact, Bodegas Castro Martín was the first in the region to adopt the use of stainless steel tanks, at a time when it was considered a luxurious extravagance.
The philosophy at Bodegas Castro Martín is simple yet powerful - to create the highest quality wines at an affordable price. The team is constantly pushing boundaries, exploring new techniques and methods to improve their craft, while still paying homage to the traditional practices of the region. The vineyards are tended to with utmost care, following natural and sustainable methods, although the bodega is not certified organic.
At Bodegas Castro Martín, every bottle of wine is a testament to the rich history and dedication of the founding family, with a perfect balance of tradition and innovation.
