ERREKALDE TXAKOLINA SL. Hiruzta White 2013 Getariako Txakolina / Chacolí de Getaria / Txakolí de Getaria
Description
Viticulture
The plot has a clay like soil arising from calcareous marlstones with fragments of limestone.
Vinification
Grapes harvested and transported in small crates. Destemming and crushing followed by rinsing and soft pressing. Cold static settling of the first must at 8/10ºC. Storage in tanks at a low temperature to maintain the naturally occurring carbonation. Gentle clarification and stabilisation. Sterile bottling and filtration though microbial stabilisation at a low temperature.
Tasting notes
Clean and bright. Pale yellow colour with greenish glints against the light. When poured into the glass from a certain height, reveals the presence of tiny carbonation bubbles typically associated with this type of txakoli. Intense aromas of white (pear and apple), citrus (grapefruit) and tropical (pineapple and passion fruit) fruits on the nose, all accentuated by the subtle effervescence of natural carbon dioxide gas. Balanced and fresh in the mouth, it has quite a sharp taste with well-integrated acidity. Agreeable on the palate with hints of citrus and tropical fruits in the aftertaste. Long, aromatic finish.
