Txakoli (CHOCK-oh-lee) wines are as unique as the Basque language and culture they come from: slightly effervescent, bone-dry, with brilliant acidity and salinity from the maritime climate. 🌿Txakoli’s low alcohol (usually under 12% abv) and light body make for a refreshing glass on its own or myriad food pairing opportunities. Basques drink this wine all year with their world-famous cuisine, but spring and summer are the best times to enjoy this wine with farmers market produce and your local seasonal seafood. Compare and contrast two distinct regions: Getariako Txakolina (Gaintza) and Bizkaiko Txakolina (Berroia). Gaintza is a small winery making a “coastal fishing village” style of Txakoli with more pronounced salinity, citrus flavors, and light effervescence. Berroia is located in a national forest in the mountains, and shows a slightly rounder palate with stone fruit flavors and bit more weight. 🌊Visit our link in bio to purchase some Txakoli this summer. @gaintza @bodegaberroja #txakoli #txakolina #basque #basquecountry #basquewine #whitewine #wine #winelover
