Winemaker Notes
Founded in 1995 by D. Alejandro Arregui Mendizábal, this family winery is located in Basque Country east of the town of Zarautz (Gipuzkoa). The winery's south-southwest facing slope of land was part of the ancient village of Ibaita. Arregi’s Txakolina is produced exclusively with grapes from their own vineyard, under the close supervision of D. Alejandro Arregi and his two sons. When founded in 1995, 5 acres of vineyards were planted and the first vintage of dry, white Txakoli wine was available after the 1996 harvest. Currently, almost 24 acres are cultivated annually.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
On the southern edge of the rocky Bay of Biscay in northern Spain, this is Basque country and home to the refreshing and slightly effervescent (usually) white wine, Txakoli. Three subregions compose the larger one: Getariako Txakolina, Bizkaiko Txakolina and Arabako Txakolina. While Hondarribi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza are the main grape varieties, other French varieties are scattered throughout the region.
