Aizpurua Txakoli comes from the oldest and furthest north Txakoli zone, Getariako Txakolina (Txakoli de Getaria). Coming from the estate’s sustainably farmed (not certified) Hondarrabi Zuri vines, this classically styled Txakoli was fermented at very low temperatures using only naturally occurring yeasts. With only time in stainless steel, this wine was bottled in the traditional tall green bottle with the incredibly fresh and zippy acidity that is complemented by as slight effervescence that is common in this Basque region white wine. Clean and approachable with ample tart fruit and an exciting mouth-feel, this wine has a quality of the briny sea and is perfect with many types of fresh shellfish, however can also pair beautifully with, and cut right through rich and hearty meats.
