Vinification
Due to the cool maritime climate and the lengthy vegetative cycle of the Hondarrabi grape, harvesting takes place as late as October. The grapes undergo delicate handling, with minimal skin contact, and are gently pressed under low pressure to extract the juice. Following fermentation, the wine is cooled to 4 degrees Celsius to preserve the released and dissolved CO2 to its fullest extent. Txakoli then matures sur lie for 3-4 months before being ready for bottling.
