KIRKILLA Ameztoi 2020
Tasting notes
It displays a complex combination of aromas: ripe white fruits, subtle citrus fruits, dried flowers and elegant notes of well-integrated wood, coming from its fermentation and aging in French oak barrels.
It is structured, enveloping and balanced, with a fresh acidity that gives it liveliness, and a long, saline and mineral finish, very characteristic of txakolí from Atlantic terroir.

Description
Kirkilla Ameztoi 2020 is a distinctive txakolí made in the historic D.O. Getariako Txakolina, in Getaria (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country). The Ameztoi winery—a family-run business with over five generations of winemaking tradition dating back to 1820—has revived an ancestral method with Kirkilla: fermentation and aging in 600 L French oak bocoyes, following a tradition passed down by its ancestors .
Produced from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri grape variety, this wine is crafted with great care, blending both the grape and the wood in a process that brings together the best of both worlds: tradition and elegance . The result is a txakolí with a character defined by a vibrant expression of the Cantabrian terroir—coastal meadows, calcareous soils, and an Atlantic climate—and by the warmth of the barrel, which adds complexity and depth to the whole.
The family nickname "Kirkilla" ("cricket") symbolizes the joy, pride, and unique personality of this txakolí . Kirkilla Ameztoi 2020 is a gem for those who appreciate the historical roots of Basque txakolí and seek an authentic experience with a genuine personality, where modern technique and ancestral legacy come together in every sip.
