Aizpurua 2025 Getariako Txakolina DO

Vineyard Notes: Grapes come from the Aizpurua family's 14 hectares of organically grown, estate vineyards. The vines are perched on the steep green hillsides above the Bay of Biscay in the village of Meagas, just inland from the fishing town of Getaria. The vines (ranging from 7 to 50 years of age) are pergola trained to encourage airflow under the grape clusters.

Winemaking Notes: Carefully selected, hand harvested fruit undergoes gentle pressing and cool fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled young to preserve its freshness and subtle natural effervescence.

Tasting Notes: Hondarrabi Zuri contributes high acidity, pronounced freshness and subtle minerality linked to the oceanic climate and marine influence. The wine is pale yellow with greenish hues, with a high aromatic intensity dominated by citrus notes like lemon, lime and grapefruit along with green apple, fresh pear, and white floral aromas. Herbal nuances and a slight saline touch evoke the Atlantic influence. The palate has pronounced acidity balanced by a pleasant fruitiness. A light bodied, lively wine with a long and refreshing finish.

Pair with seafood, grilled fish, anchovies, sushi, ceviche, fresh cheeses, and traditional Basque cuisine. The high acidity and freshness make Aizpurua's Gatariako Txakolina an excellent wine for pairing.
