  • ZUDUGARAI Txakoli 2019
    ZUDUGARAI Txakoli 2019 Bodega Zudugarai: The Errasti family has been growing grapes for up to 50 years and over 3 generations. Before being recognized as a DO the family sold the grapes locally. In 1989 when Getariako Txakolina received its D.O. status, the Errasti family changed their strategy and started making wine using their estate grapes. The family directly controls every process, from the selection of the grapes, to the cellar’s storage, and are focused on safeguarding this unique indigenous product. New techniques and formulas are gradually being introduced to the vinicultural process to reveal more of the characteristics of their Txakoli. This does not mean they wish to make a wine that is different from the traditional Txakoli, they are merely seeking to improve upon it. Tasting notes: White fruit aromas with fine herbs and a salty sea breeze. Fresh and energetic as soon as it hits the lips. Long and balanced mouthfeel with the aromatic intensity revealing itself along with sweet citrus fruits of lemon and lime. Winemaker: Mikel Errasti and Patxi Errasti Appellation: DO Getariako Txakolina Grapes: 100% Hondurrabi Zuri Soil: Clay covered by a layer of sandy soil Elevation: 2.952 ft Vineyard practice: Integrated viticulture, a model of sustainability using agrochemical products that are compatible with the environment for the control of pests and disease to produce wine in a natural and respectful way. Vegan Vine Age: 40 years Yield: Less than 1 ton per acre Harvest Dates: Nov 9, 2019 Fermentation: All stainless steel pH: 3.07 RS: 0.3 gram per liter Alc: 11% UPC: 5042821817 D.O.
