Vineyards

The originality of this wine lies in its freedom to chart its own course each vintage: the aim is to discover the means to showcase the viticultural and winemaking details and little corners, at times imperceptible in larger volumes of production but that characterize each vintage, so they can find full expression.

Winemaking

Blend of Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie and Lore Makala (Riesling) from a plot where there is a limestone zone (HZZ) and another marly limestone zone (HZ and Lore Makala).

Fermented in the final phase and aged for 10 months with fine lees
in a 2000 litre French oak vat.

Tasting note

The wine has a bright straw color. On the nose, it stands out for its intensity and aromatic complexity, with notes of yellow flowers and ripe white fruit, accompanied by balsamic and citrus aromas, and a background of aromatic herbs such as wild sage and fennel. On the palate, it has a light and fresh entry, followed by a dense mid-palate with floral and fruity nuances, where the characteristic salinity of the Cantabrian Sea is clearly perceived. Its acidity, balanced with a certain creaminess, gives rise to a long, pleasant, and persistent finish, with hints of fruit and subtle touches of nuts.
