Bodega K5 Pilota Txakoli

Pale yellow with greenish reflections. The bouquet is intense with nuances of pear, Meyer lemon, white flowers such as chamomile, intense mineral nuance. The palate is vibrant and shows grapefruit and lime notes with a fresh character. A touch of succulent herbs on the persistent finish, which echoes the citrus fruit and floral notes.

Karlos Arguiñago had a small plantation at his farmhouse. It gave a few grapes every year and some homemade wine was prepared in a nearby Txakoli cellar in Zarautz. The drink was not commercialized, we had it with family and friends. One year, they harvested quite a few grapes and the wine that resulted made us feel so excited that after some jokes and a couple of glasses of wine, we started to discover the complex world of wine, and particularly the wine that they’ve been elaborating in our land hundreds of years ago, with the Hodarrabi Zuri grape. And after some laughter and a few jokes, we brought up a question: why don’t we make our own wine? And after a lot of hard work, the vineyards were born in 2005, the cellar and the first K5 vintage were born in 2010 and finally, K Pilota was born in 2015.
