Ameztoi Rose Txakolina Getariako Rubentis
| Vintage: | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The vines that are made into Txakoli (chah-koh-lee) wine grow like little trees among the rolling hills that flow into the moody Atlantic ocean of Northeastern Spain. For generations, the Ameztoi (ah-mess-TOY) family has made their wine around the fishing town of Getaria, near San Sebastian. Just as this Basque country has had its own culture for many centuries, it has its native grapes like Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza that make distinctive, authentically regional wines. The main lineup of Ameztoi family Txakoli (white, rose, and red) all share in common a very light body with refreshing acidity & natural spritz left over from fermentation. These are wines that inspire us to get out there and enjoy the day as it passes into night.as they say in Basque country, "Aurrera Txalupa!" (onward, the boat!). The Ameztoi family has been making wine for seven generations. Located just five or ten minutes down the coast from San Sebastian, their vineyards overlook the Atlantic ocean. This rose is a 50/50 blend of Hondarribi Zuri and Hondarribi Beltza. The result is a pale pink wine with fresh redcurrant, strawberry and lime aromas and flavors followed by citrus notes and gentle minerality on the finish. This ros is very easy to drink by itself or with appetizers, seafood or fish dishes. Try this with grilled or poached salmon. A Summer afternoon picnic on the hill.in a glass! Refreshingly light & fizzy like the white, but with a subtle taste of candied red fruit. The quintessential wine to have with a fresh berry salad. Suggestion: Perfect around 52F, or about 20 minutes in an ice bucket. |
