Few readers will be familiar with the grapes used in this wine as it is a blend of 75% Hondarribi Zuri and 25% Hondarribi Beltza. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, and bottled early, it is a crisp, zesty, Muscadet-like effort revealing a lemon/lime/tart green apple character. I do not know how long it will last, but I suspect it is best drunk during its first 1-2 years of life.
