What a wine! This is an incredible Basque wine and is one of co-founder Toby's favourites. 100% Hondarribi Zuri with 5 months on the lees and minimal intervention.
Tasting notes:
Clear and aromatic. Minerality on the nose, especially granite and racy, fresh herbs. The mouthfeel has a touch of oil reminiscent of the best Rieslings, with notes of honey blossom, honey, Granny Smith apples and under-ripe pear.
Not your typical Txakoli, this has a style and expression of its own.
Food pairings:
Beautiful paired with seafood or baked white fish.
About the winemaker:
