Description

Since 2003, a unique vineyard called “Aldapa” has been producing special Txakolis in the Peruri area of Leioa. The vineyard is located on a steep hillside with a 33% slope, where the soil is a mix of clay and sand. The roots of the vines reach up to 1.20 meters deep, where they touch the bedrock of marl-limestone, sandstone and shale. A thin layer of limestone lies at 80 cm depth in some parts, giving a special character to the grapes. More concentrated and round than most Txakolis, Leioa has depth tempered by tension and refreshing acidity.

Itsasmendi

A small winery at the heart of Urdaibai. Bodega Itsasmendi was created in 1994 by a group of winegrowers whose initial aim was to produce a quality Txakoli that stood out in the general context of white wines and to convey the individual character of their winemaking region to the best of their ability.

Basque Country

The Basque Country, located in northern Spain, is a unique wine region renowned for its distinctive and high-quality offerings. The region benefits from a temperate maritime climate with abundant rainfall and mild temperatures, influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The region is particularly famous for its txakoli (or chacolí), a traditional, lightly sparkling white wine made primarily from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape. Txakoli is known for its fresh, crisp acidity, green apple notes, and slight effervescence. The region also produces notable reds, including those made from Hondarrabi Beltza, which are typically light, fruity, and aromatic.
