Winemaker Notes
With straw-colours, ripe-apple nose, white flowers and hay. Very fresh-tasting, with a progressive volume and a soft aftertaste.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Berroja Bizkaiko Txakolina is an attractive authentic and pure white wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine sports Old World aromas and flavors of earth and ripe apple. Enjoy it with linguine and clams in a flavorful garlic broth. (Tasted: May 27, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
On the southern edge of the rocky Bay of Biscay in northern Spain, this is Basque country and home to the refreshing and slightly effervescent (usually) white wine, Txakoli. Three subregions compose the larger one: Getariako Txakolina, Bizkaiko Txakolina and Arabako Txakolina. While Hondarribi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza are the main grape varieties, other French varieties are scattered throughout the region.
