Akarregi Txiki, Txakoli "Lasalde", Pays Basque, Spain 2020
100% Hondarribi Zuri
LIME ZEST, SLATE, SHARP CITRUS. COMPLEX & HERBACEOUS
Taking its title from Akarregi Txiki’s patriarch, this cuvée features extended aging on the lees, imparting additional richness and intensity while allowing the wine to retain that razor-sharp Txakoli personality. Herbaceous, oceanic, and slightly less effervescent, it’s distinctive in its combination of chalky minerality, light grassiness, and briny capsicum or caper. This is one to enjoy while staring out over the dunes at the beach – with or without a plate of mussels. Topa!
Serving Suggestion: Lime-seasoned razor clam ceviche or sushi. Artichoke carpaccio w/ olive oil & sea salt. Goat cheeses. Raw oysters.
