Gorabie Txakoli 2020 Region Arabako Txakolina is a DO in the Basque Country, Northern Spain. The DO, officially recognised only in 2001, is the youngest in the region and one of only three recognised areas for Txakoli (pronounced `chack-oh-lee`). The others are Bizkaiko Txakolina and Getariako Txakolina. Arabako Txakolina has a relatively cool, humid climate which gives Txakoli`s main grape variety, Hondarrabi Zuri, a long ripening period. Producer Located in the Basque Country in northern Spain, Astobiza are committed to creating high quality, estate bottled, hand harvested wines from local grape varieties which are a true expression of the region. Tasting Notes Made from Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie (the Basque name for Petit Corbu), this Txakoli is a bright lemon colour with green reflections. Pear, apple and citrus aromas donimate the nose. The palate is dry, clean and fresh with notes of green apple and white flowers with a crisp grapefruit acidity. Food Serve chilled as an aperitif or with fish tapas.

ZUDUGARAI Txakoli 2019
ZUDUGARAI Txakoli 2019 Bodega Zudugarai: The Errasti family has been growing grapes for up to 50 years and over 3 generations. Before being recognized as a DO the family sold the grapes locally. In 1989 when Getariako Txakolina received its D.O. status, the Errasti family changed their strategy and started making wine using their estate grapes. The family directly controls every process, from the selection of the grapes, to the cellar’s storage, and are focused on safeguarding this unique indigenous product. New techniques and formulas are gradually being introduced to the vinicultural process to reveal more of the characteristics of their Txakoli. This does not mean they wish to make a wine that is different from the traditional Txakoli, they are merely seeking to improve upon it. Tasting notes: White fruit aromas with fine herbs and a salty sea breeze. Fresh and energetic as soon as it hits the lips. Long and balanced mouthfeel with the aromatic intensity revealing itself along with sweet citrus fruits of lemon and lime. Winemaker: Mikel Errasti and Patxi Errasti Appellation: DO Getariako Txakolina Grapes: 100% Hondurrabi Zuri Soil: Clay covered by a layer of sandy soil Elevation: 2.952 ft Vineyard practice: Integrated viticulture, a model of sustainability using agrochemical products that are compatible with the environment for the control of pests and disease to produce wine in a natural and respectful way. Vegan Vine Age: 40 years Yield: Less than 1 ton per acre Harvest Dates: Nov 9, 2019 Fermentation: All stainless steel pH: 3.07 RS: 0.3 gram per liter Alc: 11% UPC: 5042821817 D.O.
