Getaria Getariako Txakolina Rosé Blend 2024

Absolute fan of this producer. These are wine of place! Where mountainside cliffs meet the sea and the vines on the cliffs are kissed by the mist of the Cantabrian sea. Their wines have a natural light effervescence a touch of salinity. — 7 days ago

Getariako Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri 2024

Light salmon color with aromas of berries, floral, citrus and herbs. On the palate flavors of cherry, strawberry and white flowers with slight spice. Medium+ finish, crisp acidity, nice mineral edge ending with fruit and light frizzante character. — 3 months ago

Txakoli Getariako Txakolina White Blend

Zippy and only 11%! Chilled it comes off as minerally and acidic. As it warms it picks up some stone fruit and green apple notes. Crisp, delicious, and easy to drink. Would buy again. — 2 months ago

Surprised to find this, was CVed! Drinking great, shocking fresh and lifted profile, 27 years and it’s alive and kicking strong in a major way. It actually went well with Evan’s sushi bake of salmon and crab! Who’d guess! — 3 months ago

Thanks! Continued to be surprised by how good it is after so many years. Alas this is probably the last bottle.

Getariako Txakolina Txakoli 2023

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.

Did You Know?
Getaria’s Txakoli traditionally has natural spritz because of cool fermentation and minimal handling, preserving dissolved CO₂. This tiny fizz is part of what makes Txakoli so uniquely vibrant and mouthwatering.
