MARKO TERLEGIZ

DO Bizkaiko Txakolina
 
Production - 3600 bottles
 
MARKO TERLEGIZ is Oxer’s most edgy, crunchy, mineral expression of a Bizkaiko Txakolina. The most strictly selected grapes from slate soils, fermented in foudres, with 6 months lee contact, result in a most expressive age-worthy wine that is meant to keep for eternity.   
 
Varieties: 35% Hondarribi Zuri Zerratia (Petit Courbu), 35% Hondarribi Zuri (Gros Courbu). 30% Izkiriota Txikia (Petit Manseng).
 
Winemaking
The wine ferments 100% in foudres, using indigenous yeast. After fermentation the wine remains a minimum of 6 months in contact with the lees.

What´s in a name
The meaning of the Basque word Terlegiz is sanctuary for bees. Also is it the name of the neighbourhood where Oxer’s father was born and where the vineyards are located.
