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! — 7 months ago
Slightly effervescent and a bit sour in a good way — 6 years ago
Drinking in Hondarribia. Lemon rind, grapefruit pith, chalk and sea breeze. Bright acid driven lemon on the palate, that carries into a juicy, fresh finish. This screams for sea food. — 8 years ago

Getaria – Getariako Txakolina – Spain 🇪🇸
Overview
A classic, refreshing Txakoli from one of the region’s benchmark producers. Light, vibrant, and gently fizzy, this 2023 vintage delivers everything that makes Getaria irresistible: bracing acidity, subtle salinity, and a mouthwatering crunch that resets the palate with every sip.
Aromas & Flavors
Lemon zest, green apple, and fresh pear with hints of sea spray, herbs, and faint white flowers. The signature slight pétillance keeps everything lifted and refreshing.
Mouthfeel
Crisp, zippy, and lightly effervescent. Bright acidity drives the palate, finishing salty-mineral and ultra clean.
Food Pairings
Mediterranean seafood, anchovies, grilled octopus, shrimp tapas, fried calamari, or simple salads with citrus vinaigrette. A natural companion to anything from the coast.
Verdict
Crispy, refreshing, and delicious—an ideal palate cleanser that also shines with food. A joyful, drink-anytime Txakoli with serious charm.
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. — 2 months ago

Zippy and only 11%! Chilled it comes off as minerally and acidic. As it warms it picks up some stone fruit and green apple notes. Crisp, delicious, and easy to drink. Would buy again. — 2 months ago
