HARVEST The 2016 vintage experienced exceptional growing conditions, with a warm summer and little precipitation, producing very healthy grapes. 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 Pale lemon colour with light green hues.
