{"product_id":"2025-txakoli-hondarribia-hiruzta","title":"Txakoli, Hondarribia, Hiruzta 2025","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrisp apple, pear and grapefruit, carried on the faint prickle of spritz that the style is made for. Light-bodied and bone dry at 11.5%, the acidity high and well knitted in, with mineral and saline notes running to a long, mouthwatering close. Hondarrabi Zuri 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiruzta was launched by the Rekalde family to restore the making of Txakoli in Hondarribia, a tradition lost there in the 17th century and one the town shares its name with through the grape, Hondarrabi Zuri; the resident oenologist Ana Martin, widely recognised for her white wines and Txakolis, is central to the project. It is an estate winery, working a single 17-hectare vineyard at the foot of Mount Jaizkibel, 500 metres from the Cantabrian Sea, whose salt-laden breeze is the wine's signature; the climate is wet and rainy, so the double Guyot vines are planted at 3,200 per hectare facing south-west and trained on trellises to catch the sun and keep air moving through the canopy, on clayish marl over thick bedrock. The hand-picked grapes were destemmed, crushed and gently pressed, cold-settled at 8 to 10°C and fermented in stainless steel at low temperature, then held cool in tank so the naturally occurring carbonic gas stayed in the wine before a gentle clarification and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe very cold, 7 to 9°C, and pour from a height into a tumbler if you want the spritz to show. It is a natural partner for anchovies, grilled squid, ham croquetas and a slice of young sheep's cheese. Drink within one to three years - this is a wine for its own youth - and do not decant it. Sealed with a technical cork. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hiruzta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476538233215,"sku":"HNW-51242251","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/51242251.jpg?v=1789923350","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2025-txakoli-hondarribia-hiruzta","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
