Katxiña Txakolina 2017
SpainOpening with a light spritz, characteristic of the grape hondarribi zuri, and Basque tradition of txakoli. This light, brisk, youthful wine is consumed nearly entirely in the northern Spanish region surrounding San Sebastien, and ideal with the numerous briny / oily / delish seafood dishes that fill the colourful culture. Melon, green apple, pear skin is lit with aforementioned spritz and grounded with a slick of herbal lees, occupying a slight 11.5 degrees. Post ferment, this is chilled down to 4C, trapping some of the bubbles, and hanging out with the lees for four months prior to bottling. Best enjoyed young, fresh and well chilled.Tasted: 27 February 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
