Ganeta
Gañeta, est. 1992. Approximately 20 minutes west of San Sebastian, nestled into the rolling green hills of Gipuzkoa, dramatically overlooking the Atlantic coast of northern Spain, you’ll find Gañeta. Along the way you’ll encounter the port, the people and the vines that dwell in Spain’s most tiny DO Getariako Txakolina. Since the late 1980’s, Julian Ostolaza and Itziar have tended to 17 ha of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza that hang on pergolas along the Getarian coast of País Vasco. They are about as local as you can imagine, and the essence of this special region. They sustainably farm and produce the classic style of Txakolinas of the Getariako region – slightly effervescent, briny, incredibly dry and lively. The wines are produced in inox, with nothing added except SO2. Julian hopes that the simplicity of production will allow the complexity of the nature that defines the terroir to shine in the wines.

Biography
Our winery, GAÑETA, alongside the Agerre-Goikoa farmhouse, is located between the San Prudentzio and Askizu neighbourhoods in the municipality of Getaria.
A long family tradition predestined the production of Txakoli to Julián Ostolaza Manterola, who founded GAÑETA in 1992 and prepared and fitted out a state-of-the-art winery. It all started with his grandfather, Manuel, in the 19th century who produced txakoli for his own consumption, and was continued throughout the 20th century by his son, José María. This passion led their descendents to continue with this artisanal dedication, but with a commercial project in the heart of the 21st century. We sell it via direct sales to restaurants, gastronomic associations, gourmet shops, bars... and exports to the United States.
