Hika Getariako Txakolina, White 2022

Bright, breezy, and just that little bit more refined - this is Txakoli with its collar straightened. It's vibrant and tangy, with citrus, green apple, and a salty, mineral finish, but there's a softness to the texture that sets it apart from more rustic styles. A gentle spritz brings lift without tipping into anything too lively, and ten months on lees adds a touch of roundness and weight. Made mostly from Hondarrabi Zuri, with a dash of Hondarrabi Zerratia and Chardonnay in the mix, this is a polished, contemporary expression of a classic Basque speciality - clean, zesty, and seriously well put together.

Citrus & Mineral - Green Apple Freshness - Zingy Finish

Founded in 2016, Hika Bodega is one of the most exciting young names in Getariako Txakolina. From the start, the focus has been firmly on the winemaking - serious, small-scale, and craft-driven, with a modern, precise style that's already turning heads. These are Txakoli wines with real poise and presence, made in a state-of-the-art winery tucked into the Basque hills. The name Hika comes from the informal form of address in Euskara - a nod to closeness, familiarity, and cultural pride. Alongside the winery sits a high-end restaurant, bringing together fine food and wine in a setting that feels both fresh and deeply rooted.
