- Rich aromas of crisp apples, pear, grapefruit, and tropical pineapple are enhanced by a subtle, natural effervescence. Balanced and fresh on the palate, it has the slight characteristic of a pearl wine with well-integrated crisp acidity, hints of citrus and tropical fruits, and a long aromatic finish.

Silver, 91 Pts, IWC, 2023
Vinified in Hirutza's state-of-the-art winery. The manually harvested grapes were destemmed, crushed, rinsed and gently pressed. Cold static settling then took place at 8 to 10°C, prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures. The wine was stored in tanks at a cool temperature to maintain the naturally occurring carbonic gas. Gently clarified and stabilised before bottling.
Rich aromas of crisp apples, grapefruit and pear are enhanced by a subtle, refreshing spritz. Balanced and fresh with a well integrated crisp acidity, mineral and saline notes through to long mouthwatering finish.

| Winery | Hiruzta is an estate winery. The grapes are grown in their 17-hectare single vineyard, located at the foothills of Jaizkibel mountain, just 500 meters away from the Cantabric Sea. The salty sea breeze influence is one of the main characteristics that can be appreciated in the Hiruzta Txakoli (pronounced "Chaccoli"). The climate is wet and rainy, so the vines are planted in a south-westerly orientation to maximize the potential sunshine onto the vines and to protect them from the winds and damp conditions from the nearby sea. The double Guyot-trained vines are planted at a density of 3,200 per hectare. Trellises are used to avoid high humidity, increase airflow, and gain more exposure to sunlight during the day. The soils have a thick bedrock layer and are clayish marl. |
