Grapes: Hondarrabi Zuri
Region: Basque Country, Spain

André's Notes:

"Txakoli is a super zippy white that hails from the Pyrenee mountains, straddling the border between France & Spain. It is the wine of choice at every wine bar and restaurant in the snazzier, more affluent parts of New England."

Distributor's Notes:

"Clean and bright. Pale yellow colour with greenish glints against the light. When poured into the glass from a certain height, reveals the presence of tiny carbonation bubbles typically associated with this type of txakoli. Intense aromas of white (pear and apple), citrus (grapefruit) and tropical (pineapple and passion fruit) fruits on the nose, all accentuated by the subtle effervescence of natural carbon dioxide gas. Balanced and fresh in the mouth, it has quite a sharp taste with wellintegrated acidity. Agreeable on the palate with hints of citrus and tropical fruits in the aftertaste. Long, aromatic finish."
