Tasting note
This delightful white from the Basque Country is light, aromatic and delicately citrussy, fragrant with herbs and flavoured with pears.
Viticulture
Sourced from 3 hectares of vines in Getaria, the yields are carefully controlled in order extract maximum intensity of aromas from the Hondarribi Zuri grape.
Vinification
Fermentation takes place in French barrel all from the first press at a temperature of 12 ºC. 10% of the wine then undergoes malolactic to slightly reduce the acidity and provide more weight and balance on the palate. The Txakoli is then left in contact with the lees for 6 months to add volume and texture.
Food Match
It is the ideal accompaniment for salty seafood such as salted anchovies grilled fish and tuna in oil.
