Ameztoi Rubentis Txakolina Rose, 2022, 750ml
$26
Description
The iconic Ameztoi Rubentis rosé is a field blend of the local, indigenous hondarrabi zuri and hondarrabi beltza varieties, grown on traditional trellises high on the slopes rising above Getaria, an ancient Basque fishing village on Spain’s rugged northern coast. In the 2000s, when almost all of the other local wineries gave up on the indigenous red hondarrabi beltza vines, the Ameztoi family retained their old vines, in turn, lending their rosé such exceptional vibrancy and complexity. Made from the mixture of Hondarrabi zuri and beltza, it eboca the ancestral ruby- colored Txakoli that was made on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea. A fresh and casual rosé, fine and elegant with a strawberry and cherry flavor.
