Txakolina and oysters seemed like a good idea to me. After a short stop in Spain on our way from the Pyrenees to the Atlantic coast (within the region west of Bordeaux which got devastated by wildfires last week) where we bought some Spanish wine I had an urge to try Txakolina with oysters.
The nose is clean and fresh with green apple and lemon. The palate is very acid driven, fresh, showing apple and lemon but also a very slight effervescence and a tiny feel of sweetness in the mid palate. The finish is fresh clean, acid driven anf refreshing. And it works super well with oysters. Good stuff ! — 16 days ago

All things pink... tart strawberry, tart cherry, and a bit of watermelon... light and spritzy on the palate with a bit of texture and minerals. Always a stunner! — 3 months ago

The best tribute to the unique Basque terroir and its indigenous red grape, Hondarrabi Beltza, grown on the iconic seaside cliffs of the region. This wine channels both tradition and modernity with an unpretentious yet unmistakably refined personality. Like its white and rose counterparts this rendition showcases freshness, salinity and acidity with an underripe red fruit character. It's a fun wine meant to be had with the hearty pintxos of the area. — a year ago

Interesting rose. Not sweet at all - in fact it has a salty earthy taste. Another find at Arrow Wine — 5 years ago

Red and black raspberries, peppers, and lots of gravel aromas. Balanced berries, peppers and minerals on the palate, pleasantly drying without a lot of tannins.

Well, that was interesting. A half Hondarrabi Zuri/ half Hondarrabi Beltza,
Tinto & Blanco. Native yeasts, raised in neutral barrel. With a slight chill, open for 30-40 mins, alongside roasted Dourade and potatoes( homemade Romesco),started as a quite glugable Fluerie like vino. Mostly black fruited, easy tannins, crisp, not lengthy. Nice nose of black fruits, rocks/stones, souis-bois.
After a while out and glasses let sit, much more interesting. Granitic(?) depth, more brambly, demanding of more time in the nose and on the palate.
Quite rewarding.

Made from 150 year old pre-phylloxera Hondarribi Beltza vines. a rare red version of this spritzy, Basque wine. Cabernet Franc like, aromas of fruit and herb notes. On palate flavors of juicy red fruits, soft tannins, medium finish ending with mineral character. — 6 years ago
