Hiruzta Berezia is a contemporary-style Txakoli made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape grown at the winery?s own vineyards in Hondarribia. This Txakoli expresses the nature of the soil where the grapes are grown at the estate, which, together with the unique mild Atlantic climate, ensures a characterful and highly original wine that combines tradition with modernity.

Very fresh in the mouth with a well-integrated acidity, and the full-bodied quality associated with this variety, enhanced by the ageing on the lees. Long, enveloping, aromatic and very persistent finish.
