EZKI VALDEBIL
This wine is made with the vines from a single plot of Maturana red wine grapes planted in 2015 in an area called Valdebil in Yécora in the Alava Rioja region.
This originally French variety was recovered in the Rioja region in 1991 and arrived here though the Santiago Way pilgrimage route. Valdebil is a place name that means “valley for hiking” (“Vald -ibili”), a clear reference to the passage of pilgrims through the area.
The landscape is continually changing, shaped by the environment and human interventions. The Maturana variety is an opportunity provided by nature and history that we have decided to benefit from. The goal of this wine is its constant evolution.
With a deep respect for what we have, we need to experiment and try new things in order to improve, without copying other models.
THE EVOLUTION
OF THE LANDSCAPE
This unique plot is planted on the terraces and slopes at an altitude of 540 m above sea level with a south-east orientation. The morning sunshine causes the thin skin of the Maturana grape to slowly ripen. The young roots penetrate the structure of the ground, allowing the plant to supply itself with the few nutrients available in these poor soils and give the grapes what they need for their full ripening. The grapes are harvested in 15 kg crates at the end of September. The vinification is carried out in concrete tanks and wood barrels based on the specific characteristics of the grapes.
