'From the Hondarrabi pair Zuri and Beltza. Grenadine, quince, mango peel and apricot. Full of lemon and tangerine, a creamy richness. Limey and racy finish.' - Decanter
'As one of Spain's most eye-catching wines, Txakoli isn't just vibrant in ambience. The palate showcases an energetically refreshing acidity with fresh juicy green apples, pears and a distinct fresh sea breeze lemon. There's a slight zing on the palate, which in combination with the mouthfeel and texture produces a perfect harmony. This is the perfect contender for a vibrant and electric aperitif.' - Tom Clark, Drink Me
Five gold stars if you can pronounce this! The Basque Language is a tricky one. Forget about the pronunciation. This is a delightfully light and tingly White from the Pyrenees with a slightly zippy petillance. Springtime drinking? - Mark Warde-Aldam, OWC
A Txakoli from the Basque country in Northern Spain. A very light white with a touch of spritz and surprisingly long textural flavour. Definitely don't judge this wine on initial reactions as this wine has hidden complexities and does give plenty of pleasure when served on its own, but also works exceedingly well paired with a heady Tuna Steak. Get cooking. - John Chapman, OWC
