From the southern edge of the rocky Bay of Biscay in northern Spain, this is Basque country wine is refreshing and slightly effervescent. It's a Txakoli wine made from Hondarrabi Zuri grapes. GREAT with seafood.
 
91 Points James Suckling
Tangy and incisive nose full of chalk and lime citrus. Fresh and bright on the palate with a subtle, smart sweetness that balances the high, bright acidity
 
90 Points Wine Spectator
A minerally white, with generous flint and saline underscoring the ripe, juicy white cherry, tangerine and pear fruit and accents of verbena and fresh tarragon. Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza.
 
Winemaker Notes
Made up almost entirely of Hondarrabi Zuri, with the remaining Hondarrabi Beltza, the grapes come from Ametz Mendi and a handful of other historic vineyards within Getaria of Getariako Txakolina DO. The vines were planted from 1915 to 2000 upon beds of sandy, chalky loam. The winery sorts and selects for the healthiest grapes. Following a cold maceration, the grapes are destemmed and pressed in a closed pneumatic press. The fermentation is done by selected indigenous yeast and is maintained at very low temperatures to retain some dissolved CO2. The wine ages for six months in stainless steel sur lie before bottling
