About the Wine

An absolute essential for warmer months - Txakoli is the native wine of the Basque region of Spain and is in that lean, bone dry, spritzy style that is reminiscent of the more ubiquitous Portuguese Vinho Verde - here we have the pink rosado version. This is the wine that you see being pouring from extravagant heights in the pintxos bars of San Sebastian - serve it ice cold alongside some little fried fishes and you're on the right track.

A wine from vineyards overlooking the Bay of Biscay in Basque country. A very light rosé, still retaining that green apples crunch but with some sharp, underripe strawberry in there too. Very bright, sharp and salty with biting acidity and a savoury saltiness as well as the classic Txakoli 'spritz' giving it life in the glass.
