Txakoli is a white wine from the Basque region of Spain. Typified by an acidic tongue and a light effervesence, an ice cold glass of taxkoli is the perfect accompaniment to a hot day. About this wine Hiruzta says:
Clean and sparkling. Light yellow in colour with greenish tones. The presence of very fine carbonic bubbles can be observed when pouring a glass of this wine from a certain height, typical of this type of Txakolis.
Intense aromas of white (pear and apple), citrus (grapefruit) and tropical (pineapple and passion fruit) fruit aromas, also swathed with white flower (orange blossom) scents, all enhanced by the subtle release of the natural carbonic gas.
It is very balanced and fresh, with a certain sense of spicy sparkle on the tongue and an integrated acidity. Pleasant on the palate, with a citrus and tropical aftertaste. Long and aromatic finish.
With a 92 from Suckling:
Bright and chalky nose with stones, limes and nectarines. Bright and intense with incisive, mouthwatering, limey acidity. Super-delicious. Also great for acid freaks!
