Product Description
Details

Made from an equal blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zuri Zerrate, the wine Gorka Izagirre Txakoli is a rather attractive young Spanish white wine from the Basque country produced by bodega Gorka Izagirre.

This txakolí from DO Bizkaiko Txakolina was sourced from 21 hectares of vineyards divided into 10 different plots scattered across 7 villages in the Bizkaia area. The vines are 10 to 20 years of age.

Hand-harvested in October, each variety and each individual plot was separately vinified in stainless steel tanks. After that, the white wine Gorka Izagirre Txakoli 2023 was blended and bottled.

This Atlantic-influenced unwooded white wine from the Basque Country will pair nicely with creamy cheeses, white meat and fish recipes.

Additional Information
Appearance

The white wine Gorka Izagirre Txakoli is medium straw with some greenish tinges.

Nose

This blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Zuri Zerrate suggests pear, apples and herbs, with a lemon tinge and a note of citrus, balsam and fennel.

Palate

Smooth-textured, with good freshness, a tangy acidity and some weight on the tonge. This wine from bodega Gorka Izagirre has a crunchy, slightly bitter finish.

Our personal opinion

More complex than your usual txakolí, the wine Gorka Izagirre Txakoli 2023 is a phenomenal value.

Top Txakoli!! I had it while eating in Bilbao's parte vieja and found it superb. Crisp, lean and mineral.
