Winemaker Notes
The name Berroia refers to the location of the estate vineyards. Txakolí wines have a slightly "spritzy" effervescent character similar to vinho verdes from Portugal but whereas the latter are light wines with fresh, clean flavors and bright acidity, Txakolís have more complex aromas and depth of flavor on the palate. Berroia is made in the still wine style. The still wine style shows the vibrancy and depth of the Hondarribi grape. Enjoy!
Blend: 90% Hondarrabi Zuri and 10% Gros Manseng
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.
