2021 Alfredo Egia 'Rebel Rebel', Bizkaiko Txakolina
$69.99
Alfredo's flagship wine is a similar blend of Izkiriota Txikia and Hondarrabi Zerratia but harvested a later, making for riper more phenolic fruit. Which is why he treats the juice in an oxidative way, fermenting in barrel (and a touch of amphora - also very porous) and then raising the dry wine in wood. Some of which is not topped up, allowing for oxidative notes to inform a dense, powerful expression of his terroir. The final wine is difficult to describe; a beautiful blend of Anjou and Andalucia’s newest guard but the tension you’d expect from a fog ridden appellation. Beautiful.
