Luis Moya Tortosa 2022 Gorobel Txakoli

Luis began producing this cuvee in an effort to make an age-worthy txakoli that provided a bit more of a serious experience compared to the easy-going style the wine is better known for. Sadly, the conditions in the '23 and '24 vintages were so unforgiving that Luis, who refuses to make the wine non-organically, has discontinued production of this wine. The wine is made from 100% Hondarrabi Zuri, fermented and macerated on skins in both stainless steel and amfora for 5 days. One year of aging in equal parts demijohn, amfora, French oak, and stainless steel. 1600 bottles made. The wine shows a beautiful golden-bronze color in the glass, with a very expressive nose of sea-breeze, ripe white fruit, dried apricot, sesame, and green banana. Grippy, salty, and appetizing on the palate; this wine will be missed!
