Introduction:
A bright and spritzy white from the coastal Basque region, this young wine highlights the crisp acidity, subtle salinity, and effortless charm that make Getariako Txakolina special. It's crafted for freshness and convivial enjoyment.
Terrior:
Grown on steep slopes above the Bay of Biscay, the vineyards benefit from cool Atlantic breezes and granite-based soils. These conditions lend the wine its vibrant acidity, mineral freshness, and maritime character that speak strongly of its Basque Coast origins.
Appearance:
Pale lemon with hints of green, appearing crisp and transparent with lively effervescence on the rim.
Nose:
Fresh and inviting, featuring aromas of green apple, lime zest, and pear accompanied by subtle floral touches and a saline coastal breeze.
Palate:
Light-bodied and sharply focused, the palate presents flavors of citrus fruits, young orchard stone fruit, and a distinct saline minerality. Crisp, mouthwatering acidity and a gentle sparkle add lift and crunch to every sip.
Finish:
Clean, brisk, and refreshing, with lingering citrus peel and a whisk of sea salt.
Overall Impression:
This 2024 Txakolina is a quintessential Basque white—energetic, coastal, and deceptively simple. It's perfect with seafood (especially anchovies or shellfish), pintxos, light salads, or even alongside sushi. Serve well-chilled and enjoy immediately.
