Hiruzta is a young family business in the Basque Country. Hiruzta means 'a harvest by three people', namely those of father Asensio Rekalde and his sons Txarli and Angel. Immediately after the village of Hondarribia was admitted to the DO Txakolí de Getaria, the family purchased vineyards there. Their first wines came onto the market in 2012. By now, Hiruzta is one of the best-performing houses in the region. The wines are already sold in more than 20 countries.

The Hiruzta Txakolí originates from the municipality of Hondarribia in the DO Getariako Txakolina in the Basque Country, literally right on the French border. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, the westernmost peak of the Pyrenees. This slope protects the vineyards from wind and moisture from the Cantabrian Sea. The vineyards face southwest, on thick, stony soil rich in clay and marl. The vines are trained upwards using stakes and wire. This is done to promote airflow, prevent high humidity, and capture more sunlight. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, and gently pressed. After cold stabilization, the juice is stored in tanks. This is done at a cold temperature to preserve natural carbonation.

The Txacolí has very good acidity, body, and volume, enhanced by the sur lie aging, which allows the wine to remain in contact with its yeasts during maturation (approximately 6-7 months). The pleasant thing about the Txacolí grape is that it is never excessive in alcohol. In the glass, the Hiruzta Txacolí has a light greenish-yellow color with intense notes of pear, apple, grapefruit, pineapple, and passion fruit on the nose. On the palate, the wine is crisp, fresh, and taut with notes of citrus and pineapple. An extremely subtle, mineral bubble adds tension. This wine is delicious with anchovy pintxos and, for us, one of the best wines to pair with oysters.

"Fresh, light-bodied, lower-alcohol Txakolis deserve to be better known. This is a classic Getaria style, with a slight spritz and pretty saline, slatey richness allied to crisp acidity and citrus and fresh herb flavors." - 90 points , Decanter

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Hiruzta Hondarrabi Zuri Txakolí presenteert een knisperend smaakprofiel van citrus en groene appel met rijpe peer en tropische hints van ananas en passievrucht, gedragen door een frisse, zilt-minerale ondertoon, een subtiele sprankeling en een elegante sur lie body bij laag alcoholpercentage. Door die levendige zuurgraad en het lichte, saline karakter snijdt de wijn mooi door vette of zoute smaken en vult hij bramen van schelpdieren en oesters aan, terwijl hij frisse salades en pintxos met ansjovis verlevendigt en vooral op het terras heerlijk fris smaakt. Kies bij vis en schaaldieren voor rauwe of rauwgemarineerde bereidingen zoals oesters, ceviche of tartaar, eenvoudige gegrilde vis met citroen of gestoomde schelpdieren met knoflook en peterselie, want dan komen zowel de citrustonen als de minerale spanning het best tot hun recht.

Hiruzta is a young family business in the Basque Country. Hiruzta means 'a harvest by three persons', namely that of father Asensio Rekalde and his sons Txarli and Angel. Immediately after the admission of the village of Hondarribia to the D.O. Txakolí de Getaria, the family buys vineyards here. In 2012 their first wines come on the market. Hiruzta is now one of the best performing houses in the region. The wines are already sold in more than 20 countries.

Hiruzta works with the typical Basque white grape Hondarrabi Zuri (supplemented with a small amount of Gros Manseng). With this they make a classic Txakolí with an extremely subtle mineral bubble and the more modern Txakolí Berezia. A juicy Txakolí Tinto is also made with the red grape Hondarrabi Beltza.

Due to the high acidity, the mineral character and the civilized alcohol percentage, the Txakolí wines from Hiruzta fit very well with various dishes. Of course, the wines go perfectly with fish and shellfish, but also think of soft sheep and goat cheeses, grilled vegetables or veal.

The vineyards of Hiruzta are located about 3 kilometers from the Bay of Biscay. The winery is located in the Basque Country next to the village of Hondarribia, just one kilometer from the French border. Hiruzta grows the grapes on the mountain slopes of the Jaizkibel, the westernmost peak of the Pyrenees. This slope protects the vineyards from wind and moisture from the Bay of Biscay.
