Oxer Terlegiz 2025

Terlegiz is a white wine made by OXER Wines with the varieties 40% Hondarribi Zuri Zerratia (Petit Courbu), 40% Hondarribi Zuri (Gros Courbu), 10% Izkiriota Txikia (Petit Manseng) and 10% Izkiriota Handa (Gros Manseng) planted in the Kortezubi vineyard, a small town in Biscay near the coast, famous for its prehistoric caves, a Unesco heritage site. Clay-calcareous vineyard soil. Strictly selected grapes from that single plot. Fermentation in 2,500L Austrian oak foudres using native yeasts. Subsequent aging for 7 months with its fine lees in the same foudres and in used 600L French oak barrels, giving the wine excellent complexity. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Oxer always wanted to make wines in Rioja Alavesa, but he also makes great wines under the Bizkaiako Txakolina name. In the area it finds an Atlantic climate, humid and temperate favoring a slow maturation. Rainfall between 1000-1300mm, being the most abundant rainy season in spring and winter. Shallow and not very fertile soils, slightly acidic and with a loamy clay texture, on limestone rock and marl, sloping and with good solar orientation. Always faithful to his idea of the plant cover in the vineyards, biodynamics and permaculture make his txakolis, direct, gastronomic and different wines.
