Itsasmendi Leioa Paradisuak 2020

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.
