Txakoli (pronounced ‘Tcha-Ko-Leeâ€?and also seen as Chacoli)is a slightly sparkling, very dry and very crisp white wine with a comparatively low alcohol content. It is produced entirely in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country.

Txakoli Rose is not a fully sparkling wine but has a natural ‘spritzâ€? It is traditionally poured from head height into the glass held at waist level â€?this flamboyant serving aerates the wine and helps add a certain ‘sparkleâ€? Txakoli is perfect light drinking and, for the Basque people, often accompanies seafood pinchos.

Tasting Notes: A crisp, refreshing wine with a slight effervescence. Notes of fresh strawberry and red apples.

Food Pairing Suggestions: Excellent with seafood, cured meats and hard cheeses.
