Txakoli Ameztoi Kirkilla 2019 represents a return to the origins and tradition in the production of the characteristic Basque whites. The native hondarrabi zuri variety finds a perfect balance with the wood in an interesting txakoli, fermented and aged for a few months in 600-liter bocoyes (large wooden barrels). Unctuous, structured, and ready to drink or age for several years.

Winery
Bodegas Ameztoi is one of the leading txakoli houses of the D.O. Getariako Txakolina. Owned by the Ameztoi family, currently led by the fifth generation, the winery has 50 hectares of vineyards planted facing the Cantabrian Sea, in the Gipuzkoan town of Getaria.
The native varieties hondarribi zuri and, to a lesser extent, hondarribi beltza dominate the cultivation. With these, Bodegas Ameztoi crafts, in an artisanal manner and following the traditions of Basque winemaking, one of the finest txakolis of the region. A unique white wine distinguished by the perfect balance between the ripeness of the grapes, their acidity, and the nearby influence of the sea, which is also exported to countries such as the United Kingdom, Portugal, the United States, Mexico, China, and Japan.
