Notes from the Winemaker:
"Hiruzta Rosé is a modern rosé Txakoli made from the Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltz grapes grown at the winery’s own vineyards in Hondarribia.
Cuvee notes: Pink gooseberry in colour, with intense red fruit aromas, with the strawberry and cassis standing out in particular, with citric depth and high quality vegetable notes. It is very cool in the mouth, with a balanced acidity enhanced by a natural carbonic gas, with a pleasant transition from mouth to drink, and a long, full aromatic finish."

Winemaking
Grapes selected for harvesting at the winery’s Hondarrabi Beltza and Hondarribia Zuri vineyards, picked and transported in small crates. Destemming and crushing. Maceration in tank for 4 to 6 hours at a temperature of 8º/10ºC, followed by straining or bleeding (saignée) of the pink must. This pink must was subsequently mixed with the Hondarrabi Zuri white must. Once free from impurities the musts were fermented at a controlled temperature of between 16 and 18ºC. Gentle clarification and stabilisation. Sterile bottling via amicrobic filtration.
