(Chacolí)
Txakoli is a light and fresh, clean-tasting, slightly sparkling, and usually white Spanish wine that is mainly produced in the Basque Country, more precisely in the wine regions Getariako, Bizkaiko, and Alava. The wines are typically made from Hondarrabi Zuri grapes, and although regional expressions may slightly differ, Txakoli wines are low in alcohol and high in acidity, while they usually display crisp fruity notes reminiscent of apples and citrus.
The wines are best enjoyed chilled, and they are traditionally poured from a height, either from the bottle or the pitcher known as porrón, to leave the tiny bubbles intact. Because they are a perfect match to cured meat, seafood, olives, and local cheese, Txakoli wines are a staple at pintxos (tapas) bars throughout Basque.
