Txomin Etxaniz – Hondarrabi Zuri – 2023
Getaria – Getariako Txakolina – Spain 🇪🇸
Overview
A classic, refreshing Txakoli from one of the region’s benchmark producers. Light, vibrant, and gently fizzy, this 2023 vintage delivers everything that makes Getaria irresistible: bracing acidity, subtle salinity, and a mouthwatering crunch that resets the palate with every sip.
Aromas & Flavors
Lemon zest, green apple, and fresh pear with hints of sea spray, herbs, and faint white flowers. The signature slight pétillance keeps everything lifted and refreshing.
Mouthfeel
Crisp, zippy, and lightly effervescent. Bright acidity drives the palate, finishing salty-mineral and ultra clean.
Food Pairings
Mediterranean seafood, anchovies, grilled octopus, shrimp tapas, fried calamari, or simple salads with citrus vinaigrette. A natural companion to anything from the coast.
Verdict
Crispy, refreshing, and delicious—an ideal palate cleanser that also shines with food. A joyful, drink-anytime Txakoli with serious charm.

Lemon city; punchy, with light effervescence and a rich flavor for Txakoli. Perhaps lacks a bit of lightness on its feet that I love so much about Txakoli. Very good value at USD $14. — 6 years ago
