Marko Bizkaiko Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri Hondarrabi Zerratia
Bizkaiko Txakolina, País Vasco, Spain
Very fresh nose, not unlike that of a jurançon blanc across the border, a tiny bit to the east. Lime, green apple, a tiny bit of a yeasty thing (did it stayed on lees for a while?). The palate shows crisp acidity, some nice citrusy and green apple notes, some width, a strong grip, and a very long and fresh finish that cleanses your palate and make you reach for another sip. We had it along gilt-head seabreams and it's a pairing made in heaven.
