Visit to a txakoli winery near Gernika
Description of the activity/company
The dominant vision of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve allows us to locate points of heritage interest such as Santimamiñe, the Castro de Arrola, Gernika, the mouth of the estuary and its beaches, the Roman town of Forua, the Bocineros Mountains of Bizkaia (Oiz , Sollube, Gorbea and Ganekogorta) as well as the borders of Bizkaia in Orduña and Sabigain (Urkiola).
In that place we interpret the fishing and agricultural tradition of the Reserve and its relationship with the seasonal gastronomy that pairs with the Txakoli that is made in the area.
The management and work of the vineyard is explained, based on the native varieties Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza and the foreign Riesling, linked to a soil with defined and uniform characteristics, and its formation of plots based on its orography and orientation, to produce a grape in a sustainable way and closely related to the fauna and flora that surrounds us, allowing the development of native species, such as oaks, chestnuts, ashes, hollies, strawberry trees, laurel, holm oaks and other relict species that exist in the vineyard environment.
In the winery, the work carried out in the management of the grapes and their musts is explained to obtain a Txakoli that can be stored over the years.
