¿Por qué escoger este vino?
A lovely Basque country white, at once generous and rich, with a pleasant acidity. Pairs well with a wide array of foods (seafood, fish, white meat).
Más informaciónThe Hegoxury cuvée is made using a blend of grapes from four different terroirs. 60% of the grapes undergo fermentation and élevage in 600-litre oak barrels, while the rest spends around ten months on its lees in vats. On the nose, this cuvée boasts aromas of citrus fruits and exotic fruits, while on the palate it is succulent, full-bodied, with a very pleasant, light acidity.
La bodega Arretxea
★ Bodega asociadaThérèse and Michel Riouspeyrous returned to the heart of the Pyrenean mountains in 1989 to revive the family farm. Previously, it was not mixed farming and livestock that sustained it, but vines, in the village of Irouléguy – today the only AOP in the French Basque Country. The couple took over Michel’s grandfather’s estate.
Following painstaking work involving terracing, planting new vines and developing the winery, the estate now extends over 12 hectares. The vineyards are planted to Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc for the reds, and Petit and Gros Manseng alongside Petit Courbu for the whites. The estate adopted of both organic and biodynamic practices long before such approaches became widespread. Through passion and perseverance, the Riouspeyrous – now joined by their sons Iban and Téo – have become a benchmark of Irouléguy and a leading reference in South West France, celebrated for its expressive organic and biodynamic wines.
