Txacoli de Bizcaia Blanco

VARIETALS
Hondarrabi Zuri (85%), Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia (8%), Munemahatsa (4%), Hondarrabi Beltza (3%)

NOTES
FARMING: Sustainable

SOIL: Sand and clay and slate

VINEYARD: Artatxu, Iturriaga, and Torrezar. Doniene Gorrondona farms 16 hectares of vines, including a unique two-hectare parcel of pre-phylloxera Hondarrabi Beltza. The Bakio valley creates a steeply-sloped bowl which faces the Cantabrian Sea, where vineyards are carved from the rock and surrounded by forests on one side and the ocean on the other. This in-credible natural setting yields distinctive Txakoli wines marked by fresh mountain herbs and salinity.

VINIFICATION: Fermented using only native, indigenous yeasts for spontaneous fermentation in. Stainless Steel tanks.
