Txakolina, Artomaña 'Xarmant' Arabako - 2024

750 mL
Item # 44916

A fresh and lively dry white with just a touch of spritz, Txakolina is an extremely quaffable wine. This expression comes from Amurrio, near the Atlantic Ocean, and benefits from its cooling winds. Racing acidity, citrus zest, and a touch of herbaceousness all make this extremely food friendly. Pair with clams in broth with plenty of crusty bread.

Staff Pick Notes

Given the time of year, I'm graduating to white wine season (sorry Tempranillo, I'll see you again in October). And while I love an Albariño or a New Zealand Sauvy B, nothing is quite as thirst quenching and lively as a Txakoli wine. Made from native grapes of the Basque country, txakoli wines are citrus-forward, pleasantly fragrant, and delightfully refreshing. All qualities that scream summer (look at your calendar right quick). If you're looking to pair this with food, something brothy, briny, and fishy would work incredibly well with this wine. Bold character and salt makes this wine thrive. So if you're looking to kick it back with your next batch of oysters or your selection of funky cheeses (talking James Brown levels of funk) this is THE wine to pair it with.

More About This Wine

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...
