In the heart of Basque Country, the area that sits atop of Spain along the northern Atlantic Coast and is known for it’s wild lands, own language and culinary awards, is also home to premiere vineyards.
Our family-owned 14th century estate, Inazio Urruzola, is located in the heart of Basque Country, Alkiza. It’s here where our family lives among the grapes. We take close care of our estate vineyards, and crafting wine is our both our hobby and our way of life. We aim to show the essence of our estate, the harmony between nature and humanity.
In the coastal mountain town of Alkiza, the ocean breeze comes in from the sea cuddles the slopes of Mount Hernio, giving our vineyard a remarkable touch. The grape of choice is Hondarribi Zuri, the jewel of the Basque Country. The proximity of the Cantabrian sea and the Atlantic climate make this wine so distinctive. Year after year, our txakoli ripens with new flavors, colors and aromas.
COLOR : Bright and clear pale yellow wine with green reflects.
AROMA : Intense aromas of citrus and white flowers, ripe tropical fruit on the base gives complexity and character.
FLAVOR : Round and mineral mouth with a crispy balanced acidity with low alcohol, makes a vibrant and unique Txakoli.
Jake Assaf
Certified Sommelier
Somm (n.) - a shortened reference for sommelier, a trained and knowledgeable wine professional. SOMM (film) - a documentary by Director Jason Wise about the Master Sommelier examination. Similar to the celebrity chef phenomenon and due in-part to the documentary film series SOMM (available on Netflix), wine professionals are seeing their own emergence and nod on the global stage. We’re proud to introduce our own resident Somm and Managing Partner, Jake Assaf. Jake’s been a humble servant of the grape for more than 14 years and eagerly boasts ‘someone has got to taste wine and cheese for the rest of us.’ Jake is excellent at just that and is also a jedi master at pairing wines to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. He personally selects the wines on our tap system (8 wines available on draft) and reserve bottle list. Our wines rotate frequently and aim to introduce you to wines you’ve never tried from producers you’ve likely not heard of. Not sure what you like? You're in good hands and we can't wait to pour you a proper glass.
