Named after its terroir, this lovely gastronomic wine is unctuous and fruity. Delicious!  More info

The Schistes cuvée expresses aromas of both exotic and citrus fruits. On the palate, there is a lovely, angular acidity, structure, and nice balance. It’s no surprise that this cuvée comes from a sunny, schistose terroir. This parcel is certified organic but is grown biodynamically. Grown on south-facing parcels, the Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng are then matured in barrels for a year. The wine then continues its development in bottles for a year and a half.

Irouléguy Hegoxuri Schistes Arretxea (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 10°C.
