GRAPE VARIETY 100% Hondarribi Beltza
WINE TASTING Txakoli Gorrondona tinto is a rarity; a red txakoli produced exclusively with a local red grape called Hondarribi Beltza. The grapes come from the oldest vineyards in Bakio, a small coastal village outside Bilbao. Some of these plots are over 100 years old. The wine goes through a malolactic fermentation with specially selected indigenous yeasts to accentuate the character of the grape variety and soil and following environmental sustainability guidelines.
A comparable wine is perhaps a Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley and like Loire reds it can be served lightly chilled. Dark violet in colour with a complex nose with floral and mineral notes. On the palate; medium body, good acidity with soft tannins. Noticable fruit with a herbal background. Long finish and very persistent.
