Hiruzta Txakoli, Hondarribia
Type | White |
Country/Region | United Kingdom |
This project has been launched by the Rekalde family, whose aim is to restore the tradition of txakoli production in Hondarribia (the town which lends its name to the grape variety with which txakoli is produced the Hondarrabi Zuri). The first vineyards were planted in 2008, and the first wines placed on the market in 2011. This wine displays rich aromas of crisp apples, grapefruit and tropical pineapple are cloaked in an array of white flowers, all enhanced by the subtle effervescence of the natural carbonic gas. Balanced, fresh and mineral in the mouth, it has the slight characteristic of a pearl wine with well integrated acidity, hints of tropical fruits and a dry, salivating finish.
