Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh and spritzy example of the Spanish Basque country's signature wine.
The lowdown:
Txakoli hails from the Basque country on Spains cool, green Atlantic coast. This slightly spritzy, dry white has a salty twist in the mould of its Atlantic cousins Muscadet and Vinho Verde. Gaintza's Txakoli is a classic example of this style. Made mostly from pergola-grown Hondarribi Zuri grapes, it delivers all the freshness you'd expect. It's crisp, with apple and citrus flavours, with that signature salty tang shining through beautifully.
The Producer:
Gaintza Txakolina is a family-run wine producer that was established in 1923 by Jose Antonio Lazkano and is located in the picturesque coastal village of Getaria in the Basque Country. From originally making wine just for local consumption they've grown steadily and now have 25 hectares of vines cooled by the breezes from the Cantabrian Sea. Their vines consist mainly of the area's indigenous Hondarribi Zuri grapes grown on traditional pergolas. The Basque country is a part of the world where tradition runs deep which the Lazkano family have a deep respect for while adopting modern, sustainable practices to produce their high-quality wines.
When to drink:
Perfect with seafood, white fish and Japanese cuisine, also as a lively, refreshing aperitif.
