Fresh red cherry, crunchy cranberry and lime, with a slight spritz. This zesty rosé is made in very small quantities due to the rarity of the red Hondarrabi Beltza grape that gives the colour. Traditionally Txakoli is made super quick and super fresh; the fruit is harvested, fermented and bottled in record time. When fermentation continues in the bottle it leaves us with this beautiful, gently sparkling wine making it even more refreshing. This is one to drink rather than cellar.
Four generations of the Lazkano family have produced and sold Txakoli. José Antonio, grandfather of the current owners, used to make wine at home for family consumption and to sell locally, until they set up the Gaintza cellar in 1923.The family have a deep respect for their land and the local traditions but they're also looking ahead, adopting modern technology to improve quality.
They own 25 hectares of vineyards, bathed by the fresh Cantabrian sea air, but protected by the Garate hill.They have a mix of older planting on high pergolas and newer terraced plantings.They mainly grow Hondarribi Zuri, the most common and traditional grape in Txakoli production, and this is supplemented by rare red varietal Hondarribi Beltz and some Chardonnay.
