Rose Txakoli 2021
Approximately 20 minutes west of San Sebastian, nestled into the rolling green hills of Gipuzkoa, dramatically overlooking the Atlantic coast of northern Spain, you’ll find Gañeta. Along the way you’ll encounter the port, the people and the vines that dwell in Spain’s most tiny DO Getariako Txakolina. Since the late 1980’s, Julian Ostolaza and Itziar have tended to 17 ha of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza that hang on pergolas along the Getarian coast of País Vasco. They are about as local as you can imagine, and the essence of this special region. Julian hopes that the simplicity of production will allow the complexity of the nature that defines the terroir to shine in the wines. Bell pepper crisp green garden notes on the nose get watermelon juice on the finish. Dry. A squeeze of lime, with some, sea spray. Bright, dry, clean and fresh fizz to excite any summer festivities.
