Origins that exude authenticity
Itsasmendi 2018
In 2018 there have been significant losses in flowering. A few years the grapes have been so healthy, and in the lax bunches there has been no trace of botrytis. The delay of the cycle during the whole year lost all its incidence in the hot month of September, where the drought and the low production produced a greater and faster ripening of the grape destined to our young Txakoli. Aromas of white fruit and subtle floral touches, wrapped in balsamic and a tea plant background. Intense and complex nose of this vintage that does not go unnoticed in a young wine. Pleasant and subtle entry into the mouth reminding the rainy spring that follows with a broad step, reflecting the maturation of 2018: fat and volume balanced with acidity, leaving a prolonged fresh finish and very aromatic on the palate.
TECHNICAL DATASHEET
Varieties
Made from the indigenous varieties Hondarrabi zuri and Hondarrabi zuri zerratie.
Vineyards and winemaking
The wide range of soils and microclimates of our vineyards planted since 1990, make for a harvest that stretches out over three weeks. Sustainable viticulture and environmentally friendly winemaking stamp their mark on the personality of this Txakoli.
Tasting note
A young, fruit-forward Txakoli, 12% alc., easy drinking. In the mouth it is balanced, fresh and long, with an appealing slight bitterness on the finish, an agreeable characteristic of this variety. An Atlantic wine, reflecting where it is made and our viticultural and wine-making philosophy.
