Bertol Izagirre

Coming Up

At Gorka Izagirre in Larrabetzu, Basque Country, the winery work is managed as an ongoing discipline: keeping the house moving, reading the vineyard, and making decisions that keep the Basque txakoli tied to its place. Bertol Izagirre occupies that role as a practical one, where continuity is not static but maintained through daily adjustments.

Where They Are Now

The bodega at Gorka Izagirre is where the wine is directed, and Bertol Izagirre’s work sits inside that process. A bodega is more than a production room; it is the space where the wine is shaped with precision, and where the character of Basque txakoli is protected while still being allowed to evolve. That balance between tradition and motion is central to the way the project is described.

Signature

Txakoli is the named signature here, and Bertol Izagirre frames it as a marker of Basque culture as much as a wine style. His own words place the wine in relation to territory, while also pointing to the work behind it: freshness and identity are maintained, but maturity and controlled aging are used to add another layer without flattening what makes the wine recognisably txakoli.

In Their Words “Txakoli is an essential part of Basque culture and it unites us to our territory.” “The maturity and controlled aging bring it a new dimension.”
