Tasting Notes

In the glass, the 2022 Hiruzta Txakolina shows a pale straw color with a slight green tint and a fine, light spritz. The nose is fresh and direct, with aromas of lime, green apple, and white flowers, alongside a subtle saline note. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied with high acidity and a crisp, linear structure. Flavors of citrus and orchard fruit are supported by a slight effervescence and a clean, mineral finish.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Txakoli from Getariako Txakolina is especially well suited to seafood-driven cuisine, reflecting the coastal food culture of Spain’s Basque Country. Its high acidity, light body, and slight effervescence make it an effective partner for briny and delicate flavors, particularly fresh anchovies, grilled sardines, oysters, and simply prepared white fish. The wine’s citrus and saline notes enhance the natural sweetness of seafood while cutting through oils and fats, making it equally effective with fried dishes like calamari. It also pairs well with pintxos, where its freshness balances a range of small, savory bites, reinforcing its role as a versatile, food-oriented wine.

Producer Block

About the Producer

Hiruzta is a relatively modern winery located in Hondarribia, in Spain’s Basque Country near the French border. Founded in the early 2010s by the Rekalde family, it represents part of a broader revival of Txakoli production in the region after decades of decline. The estate farms vineyards on slopes overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, where maritime influence plays a central role in shaping the wines. Hiruzta focuses on traditional Basque varieties, particularly Hondarribi Zuri, and works in a clean, contemporary style that preserves acidity, freshness, and a clear sense of place. The winery has quickly become one of the leading producers within the appellation, helping to reestablish Txakoli as a serious category rather than a purely local specialty.
