Virgen de Lorea is an historic estate in the Bizkaiko Txakolina appellation. The estate can trace its history back to the 19th century, when Juan Laiseka de la Rozas and his wife, Gregoria del Carral Bollain, produced wine and cider. The family home that still stands to this day was raised up by their daughter Candida Laseika del Carral and her husband, Agustín Goikoetxea Torresagasti. The current owners, direct descendants of the Goikoetxea-Laseika lineage, planted Hondarribi Zuri and Mune Mahatsa (Folle Blanche) in the fields surrounding the house in the 1980s. Mostly Hondarribi Zuri with a small complement of Mune Mahatsa from estate vineyards planted in clay and limestone soils on the southern slope of the Otxaran-Zalla ridge. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for three months on lees.
