Txakoli HEGAN EGIN

A plot in Balmaseda, in the DO Bizkaiko Txakolina, 1 hectare of Petit Courbu (Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia) and Petit Manseng on a steep slope. The story of 3 types, or rather the story and portrait of a place told by these three individuals: Gille, Alfredo and Imanol. The “flying” of a terroir, the liberation of ideas beyond the established confines, affirmation of the intense, unsuspected, surprising and indescribable flavors due to the system of analogies in use, Great dry white wine for aging, this “Txakoli” from birth sees things from another prism, such is our interpretation.

TASTING NOTES
Fusion of intense memories of saké with aromatic plants and humid rock, which announces a singularity in the development of the mouth, surprising in fat, volume and magmatic depth, sustained by an acidity at the level of the matter that encloses this ball of energy. Enigmatic.
