Txakoli Blai is a distinctive and naturally sparkling white wine from the Getariako Txakolina Designation of Origin. Made from a blend of 90% Hondarribi Zuri and 10% Riesling grapes grown in Getaria and OƱati in the Southern Basque Country. Vinified at the Etxeberria micro-bodega in Astigarraga, this wine is a fresh, elegant and characterful expression of Basque Txakoli. Following a two-week alcoholic fermentation, the wine matures on its lees for four months, developing additional texture and complexity while retaining its characteristic freshness. The natural carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is preserved in an isobaric vat, creating the subtle effervescence associated with this style of Getariako Txakolina. In the glass, Blai shows a bright yellow color with brilliant highlights. The nose is fresh, expressive and intense, revealing vibrant aromas of citrus, crisp white fruit and tropical fruit. The palate is lively and refreshing, with bright acidity.

“Really enjoyed this Txakoli, was crisp and a delight to drink, albeit maybe too much on the dry side (and I'm a fan of extra brut). Would definitely recommend.”
