Txakoli Zudugarai Zudugarai 2023 Getariako Txakolina Rosé
The beguiling pale salmon hue derives from a three-hour press of the black Beltza grapes (whose relationship to Cabernet Franc has been posited). Appropriately suppler than the white, but similarly saline and fresh, a lovelier summer rosé is hard to conceive of.

Notes from the Producer: My intervention is minimal, both in the vineyard and in the whole winemaking process. Only when it is necessary and when there is no other choice.
I am close to sustainability and biodinamic but i have not any cerificate yet. It is difficult to work in ecologic due to the climate in our vineyard. We can see the Cantabric sea from all our vineyards and the humidity in our area is high. We have a lot of rainy days along the year,
Our philosophy is that the txakoli should transmit in its entirety the autochthonous variety (we only work the hondarrabi zuri (white) and beltza (black)), the land, climate, soil, orientation...tradition and culture..I am the 3rd generation producin txakoli, since more than 80 years....maintaining the identity but improving their own characteristics.
