Txakoli de Álava

Located in the northern Basque Country, this wine region cultivates Hondarrabi Zuri grapes on slopes with Atlantic climate influences for white wine production.

The wine designation gained official protection status in 1989, starting with just 5 hectares of vineyards maintained by five producers in the province.

Local wineries organize guided tours and tasting events throughout Aiaraldea region, connecting visitors with traditional Basque winemaking methods.

The vineyards extend across 95 hectares between Amurrio, Llodio, Artziniega, Okondo and Aiara, producing approximately 4,592 hectoliters of wine annually.

The wine production method includes training vines on trellises at densities between 2,500 to 3,500 vines per hectare due to high rainfall levels.
