Winegrowers in the Basque Country
We are vineyard owners
Since 1996 Doniene Gorrondona has been working our vineyards and making txakoli, the wine that has always been produced in Basque farmhouses.
The project stems from a study aimed at revitalizing the Bakio area as a historic wine-growing hub. The valley’s natural charm and the potential we sensed there inspired us to restore the abandoned vineyards. With the purchase of the Gorrondona farmhouse and the planting of new vineyards, we turned our dream into a lifelong project.

The Hondarrabi R&D&I project begins to show its first results
Since its foundation, we have been committed to the creation of a sustainable project with total respect for the environment. The more respectful we are with nature, the higher quality it will offer us in its products (in our case grapes).
The work dynamics are governed by these parameters; we have adopted a series of measures such as the use of cork from certified sustainable farms, the recovery of 15% of cardboard packaging and the selection of barrels from cooperages with forest sustainability certificates.
In 2011, we launched a project aimed at creating our own aroma bank based on the ecology of our vineyards. We have identified part of the great microbiological diversity found in each of our vineyards, focusing on the yeasts that ferment the musts, bringing out the full expression of the terroir from which they come.

Visit the winery
Based on the txakolinera tradition of tasting in the winery itself, we have developed a wine tourism program where visitors can learn about our vineyards, the winemaking process and taste our wines and distillates.
You can visit us throughout the year and get to know us better.
