Description: Made from obscure indigenous grapes, this is an undiscovered jewel grown on steep slopes off the Basque coastline. Intense minerality, tart red fruit and citrus perfume. On the palate it has some trapped CO2 (natural) for lift, 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.
Food Pairings: All seafood, raw oysters, calamari, salads, light fare, etc.
