Txakoli LURRETIK

Txakoli LURRETIK

Its viticulture intertwines sustainability and biodynamics. On the one hand, pruning is carried out respectfully and following the lunar calendar. Being a relatively young vine, they prune during the waxing moon, enhancing its growth, offering resistance to pests and diseases, and increasing the amount of sap. They take advantage of the remains of pomace generated in the harvest, being incorporated into the vineyard and later the healthy shoots generated in the pruning. They do not use fertilizers or pesticides.

They work with ozone to prevent and attack diseases. 80% of the work in the vineyard is done by hand: winter pruning, green pruning, clearing, pruning, leaf stripping, harvest. They do not use irrigation, their agriculture is dry. They seek to carry out good practices, trying to take advantage of all the means that biodiversity offers them because they believe that it is the best way to obtain quality grapes.

In the winery, the racking is carried out on the new moon and the batonnage with more incidence on the full moon. The winery is designed to work by gravity, both during harvesting and racking, thus avoiding the use of pumps and energy expenditure
