Description
Grape –Hondarrabi Zuri The Hondarrabi Zuri white grape is from the Basque region of Spain. It is used to make the famous Txakolí (“chock-oh-lee”), a young, slightly sparkling white wine with intense citrus & herb flavours. Txakolí is served ice cold & uniquely poured into your glass from a great height to release its flavours..splashing is part of the atmosphere!!
Region – Txakoli de Álvana/Arabako-Txakolina
Winery – Castillo de Maetierra
Alcohol % – 12.5
Pairing – It is excellent with fish and seafood. You must try it with salted anchovies (boquerones) & peppers stuffed with white tuna!
Teresa’s Notes – No apologies for the lip smacking citrus & salty tang! Perfect with your plate of seafood, cured meats or the famous Basque cheese idiazabal & it’s refreshing zestiness cuts through deep fried foods. It’s the ultimate for “sipping all afternoon (& night) with plate after plate of tapas”.
