In the 2000s, when almost all of the other local wineries gave up on the indigenous red hondarrabi beltza vines, the Ameztoi family retained their old vines, in turn, lending their rosé such exceptional vibrancy and complexity. Rubentis, the region’s first pink wine, was inspired by the historic \u003cem\u003eclaret\u003c\/em\u003e style wines which were once produced in the area long before the current global craze made rosé famous. The backbone of the blend comes from an old hondarrabi beltza vineyard planted in 1840, preserved by the Ameztoi family for generations. Ameztoi Rubentis is an authentic original, a wine that is often imitated but never replicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification – \u003c\/strong\u003eAfter handpicking, hondarrabi zuri and hondarrabi beltza grapes are combined for destemming; the white and red grapes are worked together, not separately. After direct pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeast occurs in stainless steel at 15° C for 20 days. Towards the end of alcoholic fermentation, the tanks are closed to preserve the naturally occurring carbonation, which is the preferred style of Getaria. The tanks are then kept chilled to near freezing before bottling, which preserves the wine’s delicate, effervescent character and signature \u003cem\u003emousse\u003c\/em\u003e. These attributes are unattainable through shortcuts such as force-carbonation, which Ameztoi has never employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/demaisonselections.com\/basquecountry\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetariako Txakolina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite: \u003c\/strong\u003eGetaria at 50m to 200m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/strong\u003e50% Hondarribi Beltza and 50% Hondarribi Zuri\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age: \u003c\/strong\u003eVines planted from 1918 to 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil: \u003c\/strong\u003eClay calcareous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming: \u003c\/strong\u003eEcologic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification: \u003c\/strong\u003eFermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging: \u003c\/strong\u003eSix months on lees with bâtonnage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Txakoli Slightly Sparkling Rose Wine","offers":[{"title":"1 bottle","offer_id":43741531373702,"sku":"HAW-Ameztoi-Rubentis-1","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 bottles","offer_id":43741531406470,"sku":"HAW-Ameztoi-Rubentis-2","price":143.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/AmeztoiTxakolinarose.jpg?v=1763739809","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/ameztoi-rubentis-rosado-txakolina-2024","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
