Rubentis Getariako Txakolina Hondarrabi Beltza Hondarrabi Zuri Rosé Blend
Getariako Txakolina, País Vasco, Spain
Brings back memories of San Sebastián, even though most of the pintxo bars never pour rosé txakoli. 11.5%… higher ABV than most pours. This 2022 has a positively stronger herbaceous note than what I remember from previous vintages. But, previous wines were always with food, so drinking this solo could make all the difference. Lightly effervescent, mineral driven, tomato leaf notes with wild early-pick berries. Perfect summer cheese tray wine.

Haven’t had this in years, but the song still sings the same. Beautiful orange zest woven into fresh strawberry red currant and herbaceous notes. Mint stands out. Has a silky smooth texture that leans on the bitter end as orange pith finishes it out.

Pale orange. Finely etched red berry, citrus zest and floral aromas, along with building herb and mineral flourishes. Taut and nervy in the mouth, offering sappy strawberry, cherry and tangerine flavors that show fine delineation and spicy lift. Closes firm and right, with persistent red fruit notes and a refreshingly bitter edge. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2022)

Shimmering orange-pink. Pungent cherry and red berry scents take on floral and spice nuances with air. Shows silky texture and good depth to the zesty red currant and bitter cherry flavors, which turn sweeter through the midpalate. Smoothly blends heft and energy and finishes long and nervy, with a hint of bitter orange pith adding final bite. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2021)

Accidentally grabbed 2016. Still tastes good but almondy.
