Gurrutxaga

Basque Txakoli Rosé from the Atlantic coast of Spain.

Gurrutxaga produces Txakoli in País Vasco, the Basque region of northern Spain. Txakoli is a distinctive white wine category—low in alcohol, high in acidity, and traditionally made from indigenous grapes. The winery's Txakoli Rosé, made from Hondarrabi Zuri, demonstrates the varietal's mineral character and bracing freshness. Wine Advocate has rated this expression at 89 points. The wine reflects the Atlantic-influenced climate and volcanic soils of its origin, where Txakoli has been cultivated for centuries. Hondarrabi Zuri, the primary grape, yields wines of pale color and crisp profile, suited to the region's seafood-centric cuisine and cool maritime conditions.
