Vintage 2020 | recommended by my local wine seller who knows I am fond of curiosities. Stunning bouquet, like walking in a jasmin garden near the sea, minerality also. Lovely taste with vivid acids, good concentration and balance. Aptly described by @Ericsson 👌 | Paired with el Salvadorian pupusas for lunch

Pale yellow. Powerful citrus pith, floral and mineral aromas show very good delineation and spicy lift. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering pliant lemon/lime, green apple and honeysuckle flavors that pick up a refreshingly bitter quality on the back half. Finishes long and precise with resonating floral character and sharp delineation especially for a ripe vintage. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019)

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.
