Winemaker’s Craft

Handcrafted in Spain’s coastal Basque Country, Hijo de Rubentis is a rare sparkling rosé made from century-old Hondarrabi Beltza vines. Grown on steep slopes above the historic fishing village of Getaria, these low-yield grapes deliver vibrant acidity and nuanced depth.

Ameztoi’s innovative approach transforms traditional Txakoli into a world-class sparkling wine through extended lees aging, unlocking layers of flavor while preserving its signature crispness. Limited annual production ensures each bottle is a treasure.
