How To Pour Txacolina

By G in Wine Monday, September 2, 2024

Here’s Txacoli!!
An outstanding wine from the Basque Country in Spain!

Traditionally poured from a height above the glass to keep the tiny bubbles intact. It's also served in fairly small portions in order to retain the carbonation.
Txakoli is typically a white wine made from a grape varietal called Hondarrabi Zuri. It is clean, crisp, and has a great minerality and salinity which makes it perfect to sip with seafood, cured meats, and hard cheeses like the Basque-made sheep's milk cheese Idiazabal! (You need to try it if you haven’t yet!!)

This wine is low in alcohol, so it is ideal for sipping all afternoon (and all night). Txakoli is a white wine made with Hondarrabi Zuri grapes—zuri stands for "white" in Basque—which are the predominant grape grown in the Basque Country. Getariako Txakoli is the oldest and largest Denominación de Origen (D.O.).

Highly recommended! ...Seriously!
