Vinification Uixar is a special txakoli, a foretaste of the future. Made with grapes of the Hondarrabi Zerratia (80%) and Hondarrabi Zuri (20%) varieties grown in 5 small vineyards that add up to just over 3 hectares and are distributed throughout the Etxano area, in the municipality of Amorebieta. UIXAR represents the evolution of txakoli from fresh wine to a complex and long-lived wine. Low production vines grown on steep south-facing slopes give us tiny grapes that are elaborated with care to obtain all their richness. A work with the fine lees gives it a complexity and a body hitherto unknown in our txakolis. The must is stabilised statically for 36 hours at 10ºC in an inert environment and the purest part of the must is separated to ferment at 14ºC. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked and tasted.
The ageing To make this UIXAR Gorka Izagirre, the variety Hondarrabi Zerratia undergoes sur-lie ageing for approximately 3-4 months to give the wine weight and length on the palate. Once the ageing is over, the final coupage is performed to ensure all the wine to be bottled is homogeneous.
