Description

Txakoli IZAKI

VINEYARD
4.0 hectares in the area “Los Atravesados” in the Castillo La Piedra area, 200 meters above sea level, facing south and with an average gradient of 25%. Poor sandy-loam soils.
Plantation with open lyre formation, aimed at obtaining small bunches of complete and homogeneous maturity, with yields around 5000 kg / Ha. Intense manual work in order to preserve a good sanitary state without applying systemic treatments.
100% Hondarrabi Zerratia (Petit Courbu)

ELABORATION
A selection has been made from its 20-year-old vineyard, from the poorest stands and, with a slight pressing, only the flower must ferments spontaneously in selected used barrels. IZAKI remained in oak barrels (previously used in SO France) for a year between alcoholic and malolactic fermentation as well as its aging on lees (without batonnage).

TASTING NOTES
It is a very balanced, friendly and complex wine, where the ripe vegetable sensations are integrated together with a smooth evolution on the lees. In the mouth it is wide and savory. A good evolution in the bottle is sensed in the coming years.
