Our recent run of positive press in the United States continues, with two more additions to the growing list.

On the ‘Side Dish’ blogsite in Dallas, Haley Hamilton Cogill posted a paragraph or two about Bodegas Castro Martin following her recent visit to Rias Baixas. She wrote about our Family Estate wine – “Castro Martin Albariño comes from their sand and granite-filled estate vineyards that average over 50 years in age and is fermented in stainless steel in their gravity-flow facility. The wine is aged on the lees for around 6 months which creates a nicely balanced and elegant wine filled with tree and stone fruit notes like peach, pear, and a touch of white flower and fresh herbs.” (Buy the way, if you do visit this page then please note that there is an error in the information – our current Bodegas was built in 1981 by Angela’s father, Domingo. He did not buy the bodega as the text suggests).

For the second time in the last month or two we were also recommended in the Chicago Tribune – this time under the wonderful headline “Sipping away the dog days of summer” (the expression ‘dog days’ refers to the final months of summer when the ‘dog star’ Sirius rises with the sun). It would appear that Bill St John at the Tribune has developed quite a taste for our Family Estate wine too – “Fragrant, juicy, crisply finishing; let it sop up the food”. Castro Martin was one of a dozen or so wines selected from around the world!
