45% Hondarribi Zuri Zerratia (Petit Courbu), 40% Hondarribi Zuri (Gros Courbu) and 15% Izkiriota Txikia (Petit Manseng)
This is an exceptional Txakoli, still refreshing, but with inspiration from Burgundy: instead of a spritz to define its character, this does it with more body, a greater intensity of flavors, and a longer finish. Let it open up in the glass for 15 mintues, or decant, at a lightly chilled 55F.
"Marko Gure Arbasoak shows aromas of ripe yellow apple and pear, as well as herbaceous and floral notes. The barrel fermentation and bâtonnage add smoky and yeasty complexity as well as creamy texture. A pleasant dry and mineral finish.
70% of the wine is fermented in 500 litre French oak barrels and foudres, and 30% in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, using indigenous yeast, the wine is aged for 9 months in contact with its lees. Finally the wine is bottled unfiltered." - WINERY NOTES
Marko is the name of Oxer's familial home, and "Gure Arbasoak" means "Our Ancestors."
