Colour

Pale yellow, bright, clean, pleasant and beautiful to look at.

AROMA:

On the nose it shows aromas of ripe apple and pear, with floral touches.

TASTE:

The barrel fermentation and the bâtonnages that are carried out add complexity and creaminess that are appreciated in the mouth, with a smoky touch and an elegant, mineral and long finish.

An excellent companion with the best "Pinchos Donostiarras", some kokatxas, hake with green or Basque sauce, grilled octopus, baby squid in their ink, traditional dishes for this very indigenous wine.

Oxer has always wanted to make wines in Rioja Alavesa and in 2005 he went to Laguardia convinced of the uniqueness of that area. Convinced of the uniqueness, Oxer invests every penny in buying old parcels.
The vineyards in La Rioja Alavesa are organically worked in regenerative agriculture. Man and mule work the land with great care and respect for the old vineyards. Both the name and the labeling are carried out in an expected detail, from the meaning to the symbolism, expressing it perfectly with its labels that try to express its universe. All the meticulous work in the vineyards and cellar ends in elegant and fresh wines.

MARKO GURE ARBASOAK - Like Marko, he is dedicated to Oxer's family home, but in this case, Marko is followed by "Gure Arbasoak", which in Basque is the equivalent of "Our Ancestors", those who were part of the lifetime. It is a manual selection of the best grapes from the oldest vineyards on the property. The vineyards are located in Kortezubi, a small town in Biscay near the coast, famous for its prehistoric Unesco heritage caves. Soil of the clay-calcareous vineyard.
