Ameztoi's "Rubentis" Txakoli is traditionally crafted with high acidity and low alcohol from native Basque grapes.  The wine is fermented in closed stainless steel tanks utilizing indigenous yeasts from the vineyard. The closed tanks capture the natural carbon dioxide generated from the fermentation process.  Post-fermentation, the tanks are kept chilled, keeping the carbonation naturally in solution.  None of Ameztoi's wines are ever force-carbonated. 

In the glass, Rubentis leads with powerful acidity and bright minerality.  Perfect with briny cheese, seafood, or olives. 

About Ametzoi

Ameztoi is a renowned producer in Getariako Txakolina, respected for producing both traditional wines in large barrels, and as an innovator for their rosé txakolina and méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines. Ameztoi owns twenty hectares of estate vineyards located in the most privileged position in the region, facing the Bay of Biscay. High in the vineyards, planted on the dramatic sea-side cliffs of the ancient fishing village of Getaria, one can see the town of San Sebastian, which lies just twenty minutes away along a serpentine highway. Ignacio Ameztoi is the fifth generation of his family to carry on the tradition of making txakolina in the province of Getaria, and he has played a key role in the advancement of the region in the last decade. His intuitive and fearless pursuit of innovation has been a driving force in the txakolina discipline. Ignacio Ameztoi has also continued to innovate with his exploration of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines, led by his Hijo de Rubentis, a sparkling rosé from old-vine hondarrabi beltza grapes. His inspiration to use his area’s signature low alcohol and refreshing acidity as an ally to craft exceptional bottle-fermented sparkling wines has resulted in new possibilities for the region.
