Grapes: 50% Hondarribi Beltza and 50% Hondarribi Zuri

The iconic Ameztoi Rubentis rosé is a field blend of the local, indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza varieties, grown on traditional trellises high on the slopes rising above Getaria, an ancient Basque fishing village on Spain’s rugged northern coast. The wine shows a beautiful minerality, with racy acidity and fresh herbal flavors layered on top of stone fruit and flavors from the old vines, and as always has a slight petillance.
