Decanter 91pt

Chalky nose with some mineral character, aromas of lemon, pear and green apple. Spritzy and refreshing, quite light and quaffable.

Tim Atkin 90pt

This is a great example of Txakoli from the coastal regions of the Basque Country. It is floral and pretty on the nose with fresh aromas of the sea. There is typical carbonic spritz on the palate which brings a racy, zippy profile to the wine. A well-made and complete wine at this level which should be enjoyed with fresh anchovies!
