DO Getariako Txakolina, located on the coast of the Bay of Biscay in and around the small fishing towns of Getaria and Zarautz, is perhaps the most notable Basque DO. Renowned for its iconic, spritzy, fresh and young white wine Txakoli, it is particularly loved in the nearby gastronomic mecca of San Sebastian. Here, as is customary int he region it is served with local Basque Pintxos (tapas) with fish, fried morcels and anchovies featuring regularly. It's a small Spanish region with only 17 wineries registered with the DO. The vineyards, which run right up to the sea front are protected from the cold northerly winds by the hills. With one of the highest rainfalls of all the Spanish DO's hail is a serious risk for the grapes.

Bodegas Zudugarai was founded in 1989, the same year that the DO of Getaria Txakolina was established. The Errasti family, with over 40 years of experience, has been growing grapes and making wine from their vineyards, working with the native Basque varieties of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza. The vineyards are located about 5 km from the Bay of Biscay, nestled among rolling hills at 90 meters above sea level. The sunniest and windiest slopes are planted with vines, allowing the grapes to ripen while remaining dry, helping avoid fungal and rot issues. All vineyard work is done by hand. Txakoli, traditionally a centuries-old Basque wine, has only recently gained broader recognition, thanks to San Sebastián’s renowned food culture, which boasts the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. It is the Basque answer to Vinho Verde, bottled early while still completing the final stages of fermentation, giving it a natural effervescence. This effervescence is traditionally poured from a height to release the large bubbles, but if poured like a regular wine, it maintains a subtle spritz, making it an ideal aperitivo. Zudugarai’s Getariako Txakolina is an excellent example of the area’s wines, perfect for pairing with local cuisine and increasingly enjoyed internationally. Made from the native Hondarrabi Zuri (white) and Hondarrabi Beltza (red), the wine reflects the unique coastal climate of Gipuzkoa, with its minerality and freshness. Quintessentially: juicy at the start, with a citrus middle and a distinctive salty finish.

Tasting note: Beautiful pale rose petal red. Bright crunchy red berries on the nose; cranberry; spice and smoke. The palate in mineral; fresh and salty. Lots of red fruit skin; frim cherry; raspberry; wild strawberry and red citrus. Balanced with a little spice; crisp acidity and juicy. Saline; fresh and very super dry finish.
Winemaking Detail: 10-40 year old vines at a max of 90m above sea level farmed with no irrigation. Humidity makes it hard to farm organically. Hand harvested. 4 hours maceration on skins. Fermentation with wild yeasts in SST for 20 days. Undergoes malolactic fermentation. Cold stabilized and filtered. Less than 10 mg/l of sulphur added.
