2022 Makatzak Wild Wines Narrasti Getariako Txakolina, Spain
$62.00
90% Hondarrabi Zuri and 10% Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia (aka Petit Courbu) 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 on parral (pergola). The soils here are thin clay loam with calcareous and slate inclusions. 25-30% of the grapes are destemmed and skin-macerated for 3 weeks during primary fermentation, then racked into a used 400L French barrique and a 225L tinaja. The rest of the grapes are direct-pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on fine lees for 11 months before racking and blending. Bottled without fining, filtering and only a small SO2 addition.
