Yum. Mineral and a bit of fruit on the nose (citrus/tropical), but shines on the palate. Mineral driven, saline, very clean. I definitely preferred this to the Ganeta tasted alongside, though that opinion was not universal.

Probably the lightest wine I have ever given a 90+ score, this is *the* Summer wine. The nose is slightly zesty, otherwise relatively uninteresting, but on the palate it's all about the very dry, tart cooking apple, lime zest and super acidity, lifted by a slight frizzante prickle. Light enough to drink as an aperitif, ballsy and acidic enough to pair with almost anything on the lighter side (if I ate seafood, I'd probably be waxing lyrical right now). This has really encouraged me to explore more Txakolina, and I will forego almost any Vinho Verde for this bottle, especially given that its' $15 and widely available. One of the most refreshing wines I've ever tasted.

So nice to drink. Not a lot on the nose, maybe a bit of key lime. Some brine and a lot of citrus on the palate. This went well with oysters and with ceviche, a great seafood/summer wine that is indeed a balance of complexity and fun.

Light ruby red with red berries, oak and cinnamon. It is balance but a little on the acidic side with flavors of red berries. Nice medium aftertaste.

Holy acidity Batman! Surprised I enjoyed this, champagne like but not as sweet. Very enjoyable and refreshing.
