Txomin Etxaniz Txakoli 2023
The Wine
This is extremely good Getariako Txakoli and faithfully reflects this premium region of Txakoli (pronounced: chak-o-lee) production. Attractive brilliant straw hues, with a mid-to-low fizz spritz on palate. The nose is alluring and delicate with apple, cucumber and some light pear perfume. The palate shows more fullness and structure; gentle fruit sweetness gives a bright fruit spread on entry, and it gains nice gentle tartness, facilitating a poised and impeccably balanced finish. Clean, well composed spring fruits, beautifully spiced; great drinking. This is classic Txakoli exactly what you should expect: correct, clear, delicious.

About the Wine Maker
At the top of the list when it comes to quality Txakoli production, Txomin Etxaniz wines are typical of the fiercely Basque 'Txakolina Getariako' style. The Etxaniz family estate is located in the heart of the Getaria zone at the town of Getaria itself, west along the coast from San Sebastian. It is also one of the oldest, with vineyard plantings contributing to the production of Txakoli since 1649. This Txueda Etxaniz family played an integral role in the modernisation, recognition, and creation of the DO Getariako Txakolina in 1989. Txomin Etxaniz has 35 hectares of protected, sloped vineyards, planted to the two native grapes, white Hondarrabi Zuri (90%) and red Hondarrabi Beltza (10%).
