Ziaboga Askizu Mendia, Getariako Txakolina, Spain 2024

Description

The 2024 Askizu Mendia Txakolina opens with a vibrant bouquet of green apple, lime zest and fresh citrus, accompanied by a subtle hint of sea spray and coastal minerality. On the palate the wine is crisp and lively, showing bright lime, pear and a clean saline note that speaks to its Atlantic provenance. Light-bodied yet expressive, it offers a natural spritz and brisk acidity, finishing with a clean, refreshing minerality. This coastal Basque white is direct, energetic and thoroughly Mediterranean in character.

Tasting Notes
Sourced from the south-facing slopes of the Askizu Mendia vineyard - a single-vineyard site just steps from the Atlantic - this 2024 Txakolina captures the essence of the Basque coast. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve fresh vibrancy, it shows zesty citrus, green apple and saline minerality, balanced by lively acidity and subtle natural effervescence. Light, crisp and energetic, it delivers the classic coastal freshness of Getariako Txakolina.

Serving & Pairing
Serve very well chilled. Ideal with seafood - especially anchovies, sardines, oysters, calamari - as well as sushi, sashimi, seafood salads, shellfish and light tapas. Also pairs beautifully with fresh salads, rice dishes and picnic fare.
