ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The Hiruzta project was launched by the Rekalde Family, with the aim of restoring the tradition of Txakoli production in Hondarribia. The town lends its name to the grape variety from which Txakoli is produced – the Hondarrabi Zuri. The tradition of producing this wine was lost in the 17th century, but is now being restored thanks to the Hiruzta project and involvement of resident oenologist Ana Martin, a key figure in the project. She is renowned for her professional expertise in creating outstanding white wines and Txakolis and her work has garnered countless awards.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Hiruzta is an estate winery. The grapes are grown in their 17-hectare single vineyard, located at the foothills of Jaizkibel mountain, just 500 metres away from the Cantabric Sea. The salty sea breeze influence is one of the main characteristics that can be appreciated in the Hiruzta Txakoli. The climate is wet and rainy, so the vines are planted in a south-westerly orientation to maximise the potential sunshine onto the vines and to protect from the winds and damp conditions from the nearby sea. The double Guyot trained vines are planted at a density of 3,200 per hectare. Trellises are used to avoid the high humidity, to increase airflow and to gain more exposure to the sunlight during the day. The soils have a thick bedrock layer and are clayish marl.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Vinified in Hirutza’s state-of-the-art winery. The manually harvested grapes were destemmed, crushed, rinsed and gently pressed. Cold static settling then took place at 8 to 10°C, prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures. The wine was stored in tanks at a cool temperature to maintain the naturally occurring carbonic gas. Gently clarified and stabilised before bottling.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
Rich aromas of crisp apples, grapefruit and pear are enhanced by a subtle, refreshing spritz. Balanced and fresh with a well integrated crisp acidity, mineral and saline notes through to long mouthwatering finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Hondarrabi Zuri 100%.
