Gorka Izagirre 'G22'

In 2005, with a view to revitalizing the Basque region and its culture, the Azurmendi family, Eneko and his uncle Gorka, designed a project ambitious for the Basque gastronomic and wine sector that
became the references of both sectors.

From the beginning, the objective of the winery was to promote the harvest of different varieties of local grapes and produce unique wines that reflect the great potential of this magnificent wine-growing area.

Wines come from their own 40 hectare vineyard that lies on steep slopes that sometimes reach an incline of 30%. They harvest local grape varieties called Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerratia that grow in very small clusters.

The grapes macerate on the skins for 12 hours before a cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then ages on the lees for 8 months before bottling

Gorka Izaguirre G22 is an intense and persistent white wine with fruity aromas of pears, ripe apples and pink grapefruit on the nose. As its complexity unfolds, notes of floral, herbal and spicy essences appear, accompanied by characteristic notes of pastry from its aging on lees. This wine is pleasant on the palate, with a subtle presence of fruits and flowers and a refreshing balsamic note.
