Wine production:

Single-varietal wine from Hondarrabi

Zuri, selection from the oldest plots,

hand picking into small crates, second

selection on selection table, stemming

and cold maceration, greater

proportion of flower must produced in

gravity maceration, static must racking,

fermentation under controlled

temperature, left for 4 months with

weekly lees stirring, and inerting,

stabilization and microfiltering process.

Tasting notes:

Clean and bright. Straw yellow colour.

Intense varietal aromas, with

predominant white, citrus and stone

fruit overtones. Fresh in mouth,

buttery, harmonious and balanced,

long, persistent aromatic finish, with

slightly acidic and mineral overtones

from the soil.

Grape varieties:

Hondarrabi Zuri 100%.

Recommendations:

Serve cold in a glass, at around 6º-

8º, ideal for pairing with oyster, goose

barnacles, quisquilla (small shrimp)

and cold txangurro, and with fried

hake or monkfish dishes. It also pairs

well with sheep s milk cheeses, such
