Txakoli de Getaria Blanco 2025 Producer|NiepoortAn absolute essential as we move into the warmer months Txakoli is the native white wine of the Basque region of Spain and is in that lean, bone dry, spritzy style that is reminiscent of the more ubiquitous Portuguese Vinho Verde. This is the wine that you see being pouring from extravagant heights in the pintxos bars of San Sebastian serve it ice cold alongside some little fried fishes and you're on the right track. A wine from vineyards overlooking

raspberry blackberries with just a hint of menthol  and spice adding a layer of complexity

Remi is still working the soil by horse and plow

mineral and persistently salty with great length and complexity

Bunches are de-stemmed and macerated on the skins for 9 days before being gently pressed off to steel to complete fermentation and rest until the spring

most brooding and structured of Elisa's cuvées

with palate cleansing texture

Old vine Muscat Frontignan (or Moscatel de Grano Menudo) farmed by Biel Batra on the limestone hills of the Garraf National Park just between Sitges and Barcelona and a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean

texture and rounded fruit at the moment

there are rugged flecks of volatility to the aromatics

No sulphur

The Spergola adding an integrated tannic structure that only improves and becomes further embedded with time

salinity and that unmistakable waft of kerosene lifting from the glass
