TXOMIN ETXANIZ TXAKOLI BLANCO 2019
Txomin Etxaniz can be found in the heart of the charming coastal town Getaria, in the province of Gipuzkoa, in the North of Spain. Located in the Basque Country, this area is known for its culture, gastronomy and white wine, Txakoli. The Txueka Etxaniz family has been dedicated to cultivating vines and making Txakoli wines for generations and is the oldest known estate in D.O. Getariako Txakolina.
HARVEST
2019 was an excellent year in terms of quality, with a long period of hot sunny weather. This resulted in the grapes ripening perfectly, although the production was smaller than usual due to the changing time in the flowering season.
VINEYARD FEATURES
Txomin Etxaniz has 35 hectares of protected, sloped vineyards in Getaria where we grow two native grape varieties; Hondarrabi Zuri (85%) and Hondarrabi Beltza (15%), which are hand harvested at the start of October and then made into txakoli in our wineries.
WINEMAKING
When the grapes reach the winery a further selection is made before they are pressed and the juice is vinified at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged sur lie before it is bottled and released to the market.
WINEMAKER´S NOTES
