Its name comes from a cyclops from Basque mythology, who came from the 'old world', a spiritual, dreamlike world, with which Oxer wants to evoke that small spiritual world that has now been lost. The label shows Tartalo emerging defiantly from the lake like Excalibur, looking askance at the flock of sheep that will be his food...

 Winemaking

Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in 1,000L French oak vats and in used 500L French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging for 12 months in used 600L Austrian barrels (47ml).

Tartalo is, above all, a unique plot wine, which shows the entire landscape surrounding the vineyard, but in wine, giving it that unique longevity and tannic fluidity. Red fruits, with marked notes of grass, thyme and rosemary with a mineral background. A fresh wine, with excellent acidity, soft and fluid tannins, with enormous length and aging.
