With a pleasant pale yellow-green colour, it offers intense white (apple), citrus (grapefruit) and tropical (pineapple) fruit aroma, swathed with a subtle floral scent. It is very cool in the mouth, with a very integrated acidity in a voluminous body typical of this variety and enhanced by the work on its lees. A long, intense, aromatic and very persistent finish.
Hondarrabi Zuri is a fascinating white wine varietal primarily cultivated in Spain's Basque Country, particularly in the coastal regions of Txakoli. What sets Hondarrabi Zuri apart is its ability to produce crisp, vibrant wines with high acidity and subtle minerality.
One of its distinctive features is its naturally low alcohol content, usually ranging from 10% to 12%, making it a refreshing choice for warm weather sipping. The wine often exhibits aromas of green apple, citrus, and hints of saline, reflecting its maritime terroir.
Hondarrabi Zuri is frequently used to create Txakoli, a unique style of slightly effervescent wine known for its lively character and refreshing acidity. Its bracing acidity makes it a perfect pairing for seafood dishes, particularly those featuring shellfish or grilled fish.
Country Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.
Region Basque
The Basque wine appellation, known as Txakoli or Chacolí, represents a unique and vibrant wine region nestled along the rugged coastline of northern Spain. What distinguishes this appellation is its focus on indigenous grape varieties like Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Beltza, and Gros Manseng, which thrive in the region's cool, maritime climate and mineral-rich soils.
Txakoli wines are celebrated for their crisp acidity, slight effervescence, and distinct minerality, reflecting the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Basque terroir. These wines often exhibit refreshing citrus and green apple flavors, with a hint of saline, making them a perfect match for the region's seafood-centric cuisine.
The Basque wine appellation offers wine enthusiasts a taste of tradition and terroir, showcasing the unique character and cultural heritage of this dynamic corner of Spain.
