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 occurred 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, stabilised and filtered before bottling.
This is a bright and aromatic expression of apple, grapefruit, and tropical fruits enhanced by subtle floral notes. The vibrant palate offers lovely, integrated, mouthwatering acidity, balancing the full-bodied quality of this variety, leading to a lively, mineral finish.

Winery | The 17 hectares of estate vineyard surrounds the winery in Jaizkibel Mountain's foothills. 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 maximising 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 area's high humidity and gain airflow. The vines are planted in soils with a thick bedrock layer and clayish marl topsoil. |
