Gañeta Txakoli
2024, Getaria, Basque Region, Spain
Profile & Story
50 year old vines, dry farmed within view of the Atlantic - all of the Gañeta vineyards surround the winery. Steep hillsides of sand and chalk define the landscape, and the wines from this small town within Getaria tend to show more mineral and saline qualities than anywhere else in the region. 100% destemmed, briefly soaked on skins before pressing. The unsulfured juice is fermented (native) in inox at low temperatures to retain as much natural CO2 as possible. The wine is bottled just after filtration, and no additional CO2 was added in the process.
Tasting Notes
Lime margarita, meyer lemon curd, aloe, ripe green apple, ocean salinity.
Pairing Recommendation
Perfect apertif before a meal, grilled or fried seafood, fish tacos with mango salsa
