Gañeta Txakoli 2023

Txakoli (pronounced "chah-koh-lee") is a unique and refreshing white wine that originates from the Basque Country in northern Spain. It’s often associated with the coastal regions of Getaria, Bizkaia, and Araba. Txakoli, also known as Txakolina, is made primarily from the indigenous white grape varieties Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza. Gañeta is a family-owned winery located in the renowned wine region of Getaria in the Basque Country, Spain. Known for its picturesque coastal setting and rich winemaking traditions, Getaria has gained recognition for producing high-quality wines, particularly Txakoli! It’s the perfect summer JAM because of its vibrant and lively characteristics. Enjoy a bouquet of crisp citrus fruits, such as zesty lime, lemon, and hints of grapefruit on the nose. One of the distinctive qualities of Txakoli is its slight effervescence or natural spritz. When poured into a glass from a height, it creates a delightful frothy foam that adds a playful and fizzy sensation to the wine! Gañeta Winery takes pride in crafting exceptional Txakoli wines that showcase the unique terroir and indigenous grape varieties of the region. The winery is committed to preserving traditional winemaking techniques while embracing modern advancements to produce wines of exceptional quality and character.

The winery is situated in close proximity to the Cantabrian Sea, and this coastal influence plays a significant role in shaping the style of Gañeta wines. The maritime climate, with its mild temperatures, ample rainfall, and the cooling effect of the sea breezes, creates an ideal environment for grape cultivation. The vineyards benefit from the proximity to the ocean, which contributes to the distinctive freshness and salinity found in their wines.

Serve chilled and pair this Txakoli with seafood, grilled fish, pintxos, and other traditional Basque dishes! Let’s go on vacation! Salud!
