Producer: Baskoli is a wine that beautifully blends the old and new, born from the passionate vision of the Reklade family to revive the lost tradition of Txakoli winemaking in the picturesque Basque town of Hondarribia. What began as a shared dream has blossomed into a state-of-the-art winery that captures the essence of the region’s winemaking heritage. Baskoli, crafted from the native Hondarrabi Zuri and Beltza grapes, stands as a testament to the rich cultural history of Txakoli, a tradition dating back to the 15th century. The Hiruzta Winery, named for the "three-person harvest" of father Asensio and his sons, Txarli and Angel, represents a perfect fusion of tradition and modern innovation, creating a wine that embodies the spirit of the Basque Country.

Vineyard & Winemaking: The vineyards of Baskoli are a true reflection of their exceptional terroir, situated in the foothills of Jaizkibel Mountain, where they benefit from the warm midday sun and the refreshing sea breeze from the nearby Cantabrian Sea. The family’s commitment to quality is evident in every step of the winemaking process, from the careful cultivation of the vines to the meticulous fermentation in their cutting-edge facility. The result is a Txakoli wine with a distinctive style, characterized by its vibrant freshness and subtle complexity, making Baskoli a true representation of Basque culture and the unique landscape from which it originates.
