Gañeta Getariako Txakolina White

Alcohol: 12%

Grape(s): Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Beltza 

Localization: Txakoli de Gettaria, Spain

Tasting notes: This is a refreshing and crisp white that gives aromas of ginger and limes. The palate delivers more limes, grapefruit, and mint with excellent balance. Slightly effervescent, briny, incredibly dry, and lively.

The Domain: Since the late 1980’s, Julian Ostolaza and Itziar have tended to 17 ha of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza that hang on pergolas along the Getarian coast of País Vasco. They are about as local as you can imagine, and the essence of this special region.

They sustainably farm and produce the classic style of Txakolinas of the Getariako region – slightly effervescent, briny, incredibly dry, and lively. The wines are produced in inox, with nothing added except SO2. Julian hopes that the simplicity of production will allow the complexity of the nature that defines the terroir to shine in the wines.
