In data, the year translates into a 20% increase in production compared to 2021. For example, the Designation of Origin has harvested 4.8 million kilos of grapes and marketed 4.3 million bottles of txakoli.
Production remains predominantly white, although rosé production is increasing mainly for the export market, the latter accounting for 10% of production.
