- A rich aromatic expression of apple, grapefruit and tropical fruits, enhanced by subtle floral notes. Vibrant on the palate, with an integrated mouthwatering acidity balancing the full-bodied quality of this variety. This textured wine has a deliciously long, aromatic, and very persistent finish.
Planted in 2007, the vineyard is oriented towards the mid-day sun which protects it from the wind and the influence of the nearby Cantabrian Sea, thereby maximizing the benefit of the sunshine. The vines are trellis grown, using a double Guyot training system, which is not the traditional planting method, it is used to avoid the high humidity in the area and to gain airflow. The vines are planted in soils that have a thick bedrock layer and clayish marl topsoil.
The grapes were carefully selected at optimal ripeness from the small Hondarrabi Zuri vineyard and were loaded into small crates. They were then destemmed and crushed, followed by gentle pressing. A cold racking took place at 8 to 10°C, followed by the fermentation at controlled temperatures of between 16 and 18°C in stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged on the lees in tanks for four months and stirred, without
aeration, once a week, adding complexity and texture to the resulting wine. Gently clarified, stabilized and filtered before bottling.
