This flagship Txakoli from Bodegas Virgen de Lorea comes from the Bizkaiko Txakolina zone, an inland area in the Basque Country that benefits from warm, sun‑filled days and cool breezes. The estate’s low‑intervention approach and careful vineyard management allow the Hondarribi Zuri and Folle Blanche grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining vibrant freshness, producing a refined and gastronomic expression of Txakoli.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw with a faint green tinge, the wine shows lifted aromas of lemon zest, green apple and subtle white flowers. The palate is crisp and lively, with well‑ripe citrus and orchard fruit complemented by a gentle textural weight from a month on the lees, finishing with a bright, zesty lift.
Winemaking:
Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with a brief period on fine lees to add subtle texture while preserving the variety’s characteristic vibrancy.
Food Pairing:
Delicious with fresh seafood, anchovies, grilled white fish, or light tapas; its brisk acidity and lively fruit make it a versatile match for coastal and Mediterranean cuisine.
ABV: 12%
