D.O. BIZKAIA

Txakoli have between 11% and 14.5% Alcohol

D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina groups together the producers of txakoli in the province of Bizkaia who make their txakolis under the parameters established by the managing body of the appellation of origin.

The vineyards are present throughout the entire geography of Bizkaia. Plantations can be found both in areas very close to the coastline, as in the interior valleys, or on the slopes of medium-altitude mountains, below 400m.

Within Bizkaia there are regions where the vineyard area and the number of wineries is significantly higher than the average. We are talking mainly about the Uribe and Urdaibai regions.

Thus, within the first, the Valley of Txori-Herri (Zamudio, Derio, Lezama, Larrabetzu, etc.) or the municipality of Bakio stand out. In the second region we can mean Gernika, Busturia, Muxika or Kortezubi, among others.

But we would be wrong if we did not recall here other traditional producing areas such as Encartaciones, with its vineyards of Zalla, Balmaseda or Gordexola, or Duranguesado with its vineyards dominated by the cresterias of the Anboto and Oiz mountains, in the municipalities of Elorrio, Amorebieta, Euba, Durango or Abadiño.

The Txakoli vineyard is also present in areas as diverse as the municipality of Orduña, an enclave located in the Ayala valley, or both in the valleys (Markina) and at the mouth (Lekeitio and Mendexa) of Lea Artibai.

In short, a rich variety of areas and locations that provide peculiar characteristics to the elaborated txakolis, although within the same common line established by the Denomination of Origin.
