We’ve been looking for some decent Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerratia to feature in our list (yes, you heard us right!). These delicate varieties are ancient vines from the Basque region. Grown in the province of Biscay, Gorka Izagirre have 40 ha of vines divided into small plots. The isolated spot deep in the hills of the Basque country gives these wines a unique and complex expression. Off the beaten track, but certainly worth the detour!
Viticulture >
The distinct production of each plot in the winery, allows each vineyard to reach its potential, achieving a wine that is fresh, lively and aromatic, which is surprising upon taste.
Winemaking >
Representing the modern txakolis of Bizkaia, Gorka Izagirre is made from a native blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerratia grapes. Grown and harvested entirely in the Basque Country, our 10 vineyard plots span 21 hectares of carefully cultivated vineyards located across seven towns in the province of Biscay.
