| Vintage: | 2018 |

| Description: | The Flysch Txakolina is very good. It leaves an exciting impression: lively, appetizing and very enjoyable. We like the low 11,5% alcohol. And that gorgeous length. It just never disappears. And we who just have this one single bottle Txakolis wines are also slightly sparkling, giving them a tingly feel on the finish. In the area for DO Getariako Txakolina, 95% of the vineyards consist of the grape Hondarribi zuri. This is an area with great humidity and the vines are traditionally trained high, usual is about two meters above the soil as pergolas, which makes it easy for the wind to blow into the vines and dry the grapes. Flysch turns out to be the brand of a recently established producer circa 2011 as the first vintage on the market. Although Juan Mª Etxabe, the man behind the wine, is not new in wine, but the fourth generation of txakolí-producers. In 2008 he planted Hondarribi Zuri vines in an area of what is called "the Basque Coast Geopark". The winery, named Gorosti, is located in Elorriaga, right next to the coast line, between the small cities Itziar-Deba and Zumaia. Most people would probably just shake their heads hearing all these names, but if we say between Bilbao and San Sebastian it is easier to locate, a privilege area in the Northern part of Spain called the Basque Country. |
