Zippy and only 11%! Chilled it comes off as minerally and acidic. As it warms it picks up some stone fruit and green apple notes. Crisp, delicious, and easy to drink. Would buy again. — 4 months ago

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. — 5 months ago

An unusual white from Basque Country - Spain. White grape varieties such as Hondarribi Zuri Zerratia, Hondarribi Zuri and Izkiota Txikia 😄. These deliver the taste of green apple, some pear, herbs and lots of minerality. — 4 months ago

My first txakoli! A little sweeter than anticipated but still quite good. Great with tapas on a warm day. Great rec from @Matt Albers! — 9 days ago
