  ‘Txakolina is a delicious local Bask specialty with a pleasant light sparkle. Slighly oily, chalky mineral with green appel, citrus and a bit of fresh/green herbs. Goes very well with roasted green asparagus. We drank this Bask party sparkle 5 years ago in the classic Pinxtos bar Martinez in San Sebastian.'

  Super interesting and enjoyable wine. Fresh from the bottle and gently poured, it has this weird cheesy/butyric aroma that I don’t really like. Swirl a while, or splash it into the glass, and it goes away. What’s left is floral jasmine and apple. Palate has more apple and some tea notes. Beautifully light in body, alcohol very low, yet bone dry and not harsh by any means. You need one bottle per person for a full dinner. So light and refreshing. Excellent summer patio pounder.

  PnP, chilled. A very refreshing, spritzy wine. On the palate there is lemon, lime, and minerality, all wrapped up in juicy acidity. Not a complex wine, nor is it meant to be, but very refreshing. Capture the freshness and drink soon.

  Refreshing. Good acid. Typical flavors for tzakolina. A little spritz too to add to the enjoyment.
