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

Coupage of Hondarrabi Zuri (57%), Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie (25%) and Lore Makala (Riesling) (18%) from a plot where a limestone zone (HZZ) and another margolime zone (HZ and Lore Makala) appear.

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

Tasting note

Intense yellow fruit of the ripening of the vintage. Very complex aromas with ripe citrus, subtle white and stone fruit. Herbaceous background with notes of chamomile, interspersed with balsamic that give it great freshness. Elegant floral notes and a finish of great minerality, with a very limestone character at the end of the mouth. A great Atlantic txakoli for which we predict an interesting journey in the bottle full of different nuances in its evolution.
