The Txakoli is now called Gorka Izagirre and the subtitle Basque White Wine (found on most labels here), of which I tasted the 2019 Gorka Izagirre, which they called a representative of the modern Txakoli from Bizkaia. It's a blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zerretia (Petit Corbu) produced in a light, fresh and aromatic way but with good structure to stand up to food. It has 12.5% alcohol and notable acidity, still a bit reductive from the recent bottling. The whites have a clean profile with citrus aromas. It was fermented with neutral yeasts at low temperature, and part of the volume was kept with the lees for three months. 2019 seems like a very good vintage in the region; this finishes tasty, dry and long. 180,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.

This white is fresh and lean, with savory notes of quinine and chalk framing green apple and fresh herb flavors. Racy acidity keeps this lively. A good wine to pair with shellfish. Drink now. 15,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Bizkaiko Txakolina Select to Add
