Today's SENSATIONAL and unexpected (to me) result at the Clasica San Sebastian means it's time for another exciting /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!
We have been in these parts before in the Itzulia Basque Country, in the same appellation - Getariako Txakolina. This area is known for light-bodied, slightly effervescent wines made from indigenous grapes unknown elsewhere. It is just down the coast to the west from Donostia-San Sebastian. This is a blend of Hondarrabi Beltza and Hondarrabi Zuri.
Lasalde Elkartea "Balea" Txakoli Rose ($19)
Pours a light salmon with tiny amount of gas. The nose is saline, with white peach and light lime. The palate is dry and freshly acidic, no real tannin to speak of.
This is a bit more round and balanced than the searingly-acidic Txakoli white made from 100% Hondarrabi Zuri from Itzulia Basque Country. Good summer food wine. Not bad.
