Doniene Gorrondona Bizkaiko Txakolina

Doniene Gorrondona Bizkaiko Txakolina

Hondarrabi Zuri

Vintage: 2018
Description: Try a Basque white that will change your perception of Spanish wine! Although located near the more famous wine region of Rioja, the Basque country is a world apart when it comes to wine. While Rioja is dry and sundrenched, the coastal range that separates the two regions keeps the Basque country cool and wet. Rioja produces acclaimed reds made mostly from the Tempranillo grape, but across the ridge a style of crisp whites made with varietals like Hondarrabi Zuri reign supreme. Doniene Gorrondona is in the heart of the Bizkaiko Txakolina appellation, set along dramatic cliffs that drop off into the Atlantic Ocean. The combination of maritime and montane influences keep their picturesque vineyard sites cool, ensuring the wine is well structured with prickly acidity. On the nose, there are notes of lemon zest and herbs, followed by bright green apple on the midpalate. The finish is distinctive: a pleasant, fleshy minerality lingers on the palate and silences any naysayer who claims Txakolina is a one-dimensional style!
