Oxer Wines Marko Loretxoa 2022

This Marko is special, called Loretxoa (which means "flower" in Basque) because of its aging under flor veil in fino de Jerez casks.

Oxer has composed this wine from 3 "exotic" varieties grown in the village of Kortezubi near the coast of Biscay: 50% Hondarribi Zuri Zerratia (petit courbu), 35% Hondarribi Zuri (gros courbu) and 15% Izkiriota Txikia (petit manseng).

After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is transferred to Fino Sherry casks for a short aging period of a few months under a veil of flor, which gives it an additional salinity and a peculiar character. It is a wine made with minimal intervention, without filtering or fining, and has great cellaring potential.

Some 2.000 bottles were made of this last vintage - this wine is no longer produced...
