Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Organic farming, clay with slate subsoil, low added SO2

Gorrondona, an ancient estate in the Basque province of Bizkaia resurrected by three friends in the 60’s, produces one of the most delicious and natural Txakoli in the region. From 30-year-old organic vines that face the Cantabrian ocean, the fruit is fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks, producing a slightly effervescent, juicy wine with a ton of salinity, firm apricot, nectarine on the palate and a lean, clean finish. In 2010, these guys even implemented a policy to use only cork from certified organic farms instead of the chemically treated ones. The ultimate delicious water!
