Bodegas Zudugarai 'Antxiola' Rosado 2024 Txakolina, Spain

Regular price $17.97

Grape πŸ‡: Hondarrabi Beltza

Style πŸ˜‹: Light-bodied, crisp, with a little fizz. Tart red berries, crushed herbs, pink grapefruit, and sea spray. Dry, saline, and refreshing. Ocean breeze in a bottle. .

Details πŸ“Œ: Made entirely from Hondarrabi Beltza grown on hand tended coastal vineyards just 90 meters above sea level in the hills of Orio. A 24 hour maceration on the skins gives the wine its pale pink color. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and bottled young to preserve its natural spritz. No fining or filtration.

Story πŸ“–: Antxiola (ahn-cho-la) is the Txakoli label of Bodegas Zudugarai, a small family winery run by the Errasti family near Getaria. Though the winery was officially founded in 1989, the family has been farming these seaside slopes for over 40 years. Named for a historic fortified house in the region, Antxiola captures the bright, zippy character of the Basque coast in every bottle. This rosΓ© is made in tiny quantities and feels tailor made for seafood, sun, and snacks by the water.
