2011 Txomin Etxaniz Txakoli
This is extremely good Getariako Txakoli and faithfully reflects this premium region of Txakoli (pronounced: chak -o -lee) production. Attractive brilliant straw hues, with a mid-to-low fizz spritz on palate. The nose is alluring and delicate with apple, cucumber and some light pear perfume. The palate shows more fullness and structure; gentle fruit sweetness gives a bright fruit spread on entry, and it gains nice gentle tartness, facilitating a poised and impeccably balanced finish. Clean, well composed spring fruits, beautifully spiced; great drinking. This is classic Txakoli – exactly what you should expect: correct, clear, delicious.
