2022 Makatzak Wild Wines Harri Ta Zur Getariako Txakolina, Spain
$86.00
90% Hondarrabi Zuri and 10% Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia from organically and biodynamically farmed own-rooted vines planted at 300m in a south-facing 3-hectare parcel called Sorgintxulo near the town of Aia. The parcel is terraced and the vines are trained in pergolas. The soils here are thin clay loam with calcareous and slate inclusions. The grapes are destemmed and pressed to ferment in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Partially through fermentation, the musts are transferred to 225L neutral oak barrels to finish fermenting and go through malolactic conversion. The wine rests on lees in these barrels for 10 months, with periodic bâtonnage. Bottled without fining, filtering or SO2 addition, and aged in bottle for 12 months before release.
