Description: Made from obscure indigenous grapes, this undiscovered jewel grown on steep slopes off the Basque coastline. Intense mineral, tart red fruit and citrus perfume. On the palate it has some trapped CO2 (natural) for lift and clean brininess and crisp, bright acidity. This wine is from the oldest family in the region, who’s vineyards are so close to the ocean, they have to rinse off sea salt deposits on the grape skins before putting them into tanks. Pale-yellow hay in color with aromas of wet quartz and mineral salts. The palate exhibits vibrant, slightly effervescent character with a touch of tart red fruit and lots of marine- minerals.
Food Pairings: All seafood, raw oysters, calamari, salads, light fare, etc.
