Most of you will be thinking that today is a National holiday in Spain, the United States and many South American countries to celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the Americas – and that, of course, is quite true.

However, here at Castro Martin we don’t normally associate the abbreviation CC with Christopher Columbus, but more with Casal Caeiro, our original, and still our biggest selling albariño here in Spain. Unfortunately it has not as yet acheived such cult status that it is commemorated with its own public holiday, but we can live in hope……

So for now, just sit back, enjoy the holiday, and drink a toast to CC with a glass of CC!
