Txakoli Laira 2018

ArtomaÑa Txakolina, S.l.

Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

ELABORATION: In Euskera, the language of the Basque Country, ?LAIRA? is the word that describes the green shoots of the vineyard in spring. It is that freshness that characterizes this txakoli that we elaborate in the traditional way, preserving its joy through a careful control of the fermentation process at low temperature and extracting the best of the Hondarrabi Zuri variety by macerating it in cold. Two months of work with the lees give it aromas and guarantee its durability.In Euskera, the language of the Basque Country, "Laira" means "charming and delicate". And that is what characterizes this txakoli that we elaborate in the traditional way, preserving its joy through a careful control of the fermentation process at low temperature and extracting the best of the Hondarrabi Zuri variety by cold maceration. Two months of work with the lees give it aromas and guarantee its durability.

TASTING NOTES: Noticeable variety character, pale yellow colour limpid and bright with green lemon tones. Its intense fruit bouquet, characteristic of the variety, remind of peaches, apples and fresh grass. It also has some flower shades. Fresh and balanced flavour with a peculiar bitter touch. It contains a little bit of carbonic gas which makes it to be youthful and lighthearted. Light and smooth is also when you swallow it, returning afterwards a delicate acidulated flavour.
