Gorka Izagirre Txakoli 2024
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 2024 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.
| 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. |

| Our personal opinion | More complex than your usual txakolí, the wine Gorka Izagirre Txakoli 2024 is a phenomenal value. |
