Txakoli espumoso. Palabras mayores lo bueno que está esto. #txominetxaniz #Birbirra — 11 years ago
Txomin Etxaniz – Hondarrabi Zuri – 2023
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. — 9 months 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

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 ! — 13 hours ago
