$17.00
Basque Country, Spain
Arabako Txakolina (Chacolí de Álava)
70% Hondarrabi Zuri, 10% Gros Manseng, 10% Petit Manseng, 10% Petit Corbu
Vinification:
Grapes are harvested separately, based on ripeness, and the must is extracted using a pneumatic press. After a brief cold maceration, each grape variety ferments separately in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, utilizing native yeasts. The wine then ages on the lees for two months with some bâtonnage for selected tanks. The wine is then blended and stored at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks for stabilization until bottling. Per the style in Álava, Xarmant is bottled with less naturally occurring residual carbon dioxide than txakoli from other regions, like Getaria.
