Picked up this bottle while at Getaria in Spain a couple of years ago. A very nice sparkler with aromas of bruised apples and a slight salinity on the bud. Refreshing and light. Went well with our Walnut Crusted Salmon. — a year ago
Introduced at Highlands Wine Shoppe in NC. Delightful wine, perfect for summer. A bit zippy, nice minerality, lovely finish. Great for pricepoint, we need more! — 4 months ago
On the southern edge of the rocky Bay of Biscay in northern Spain, this is Basque country and home to a slightly effervescent white wine, Txakoli. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with a light spritz in the glass. On the palate flavors of green apple and lemon citrus, vivid briny acidity with floral notes. Medium finish ending with fruit and spicy mineral character. — 9 months ago

Did You Know?
Getaria’s Txakoli traditionally has natural spritz because of cool fermentation and minimal handling, preserving dissolved CO₂. This tiny fizz is part of what makes Txakoli so uniquely vibrant and mouthwatering. — 21 hours ago
