Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Wine production:

Selection plot by plot, hand picking

into small crates, second selection on

selection table, stemming and cold

maceration prior to soft pressing, static

must racking, fermentation under

controlled temperature, inerting,

stabilization and microfiltering process.

Tasting notes:

Clean and bright. Straw yellow colour

with shades of green. Intense varietal

aromas, with overtones of white fruit,

(pear and apple), citrus fruit

(grapefruit), and stone fruit (peach).

Fresh in mouth, lively, balanced, long,

persistent aromatic finish, with slightly

bitter and mineral varietal overtones

from the soil.

Grape varieties:

Hondarrabi Zuri 70%.

Petit Courbu 15%.

Gros Manseng 15%.

Recommendations:

Serve chilled in a glass, at around 6º-

8º, perfect for pairing with sashimi and

sushi, fish served rare and cold

shellfish. Ideal cheeses for contrast

pairing include Gorgonzola and

Cabrales.
