Description

Txakoli MARKO KIXMI (Unfiltered)

The Txakoli Marko Kixmi is made in Kortezubi, a town near Gernika, it was released for the first time in 1999. At that time they had 1.5 hectares, currently having 5 hectares divided into 8 plots with very different characteristics between them, on the hillside and all of them in Kortezubi. 14 years have passed, in which at the same time that the vineyard became older, the wine was exceeded every year, reaching the last two years at a level that will be difficult to overcome.

ELABORATION
Txakoli MARKO Kixmi is aged on lees for three to four months, a technique that gives this wine a structured, voluminous mouth, even losing a bit of aroma on the nose. A wine that will have a life span of several years, in which it will gain complexity each year.The Txakoli MARKO Kim was made to show the potential of the region’s grapes when they are picked later than usual, giving a result of a txakoli with a more mature and serious style. The vineyard is worked organically. The grapes are collected manually and with a lower yield than authorized, due to a rigorous selection of grapes that is carried out. Grape varieties: Hondarrabi zuri 40% and Hondarrabi zerratie (Petit Courbu) 60%. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks with its own yeasts. The wine remains in contact with its lees for 3 months with periodic bâtonnages that provide greater character.

VINEYARD
The vineyards are located in Kortezubi, a small town in Biscay close to the coast, famous for its prehistoric caves, a Unesco heritage. Clay-calcareous vineyard soil.

TASTING NOTES
Fresh and fruity nose in which green apple, pear, grapefruit and orange blossom predominate. On the palate the unctuousness of the lees work is noted with a mineral finish of good length.

NAME
The Basques have a great respect for nature and for the hamlet in which they live, to which they give their name. Marko is the name of the Oxer family farmhouse, which is surrounded by the vineyard used for this wine.
