Gaintza, Hondarrabi Zuri 2024 Getariako Txakolina, Spain

From the pioneering Lazkano family, who have been crafting Txakoli wines since 1923 along the Cantabrian coast near San Sebastián. Gaintza, meaning 'on top of,' reflects their vineyards' prime position on bluffs overlooking the bay, where Atlantic influence and old-vine intensity create a Txakoli that transcends the region's reputation for simple, fizzy whites.

Bright and refreshing on the palate with harmonious citrus and white fruit flavors enhanced by fine effervescence and puckering acidity.
