The Txakoli Itsasmendi Eklipse Mágnum Red Wine from Bodega Itsasmendi, presents this red wine from the D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina (Vizcaya, Basque Country), created from the grape varieties 65% Pinot Noir and35% Hondarrabi Beltza.
Itsasmendi Eklipse is obtained from a selection of grapes from two plots of land located very close to the sea, within what is known as the Cantabrian holm oak forest. This area is characterised by clay-loam soils of limestone origin and a microclimate with a lower rainfall than the other plots in the province.
Making: The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels and vats of 2000 litres, providing structure and complexity to this Txakoli.
Recommended serving temperature: Between 14 and 16°C
Bodega Itsasmendi
Bodega Itsasmendi was founded in 1995, the year in which its first facilities were inaugurated in Muskiz. In 2002 the winery moved to Gernika, a privileged enclave in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Mountain slopes close to the gulf of Bizkaia gave rise to the name of the winery and its most valuable asset: 35 hectares of vineyards. Today Itsasmendi is possibly the most important winery in the D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina.
At Itsasmendi Winery the wines are made in an intelligent blend of art and technology, intertwined from sensitivity. The practice of respectful viticulture bridges the gap between nature and a great wine.
Itsasmendi Vineyard
The 35 hectares of vineyard are divided into 15 different plots, carefully selected by the winery's technical team and which provide a great biodiversity in the grapes harvested. A markedly Atlantic climate, the great geological and microclimatic diversity and a winemaking philosophy of maximum respect for the environment are the arguments for working on the axes of quality and sustainability. The use of native varieties of marked terroir character such as the Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie accentuate the richness provided by the nature of the place.
