Txakoli Primo, established in 1953 by Andrés Echave Olascoaga, is a family-owned winery located in Zarautz, within the Basque Country's Getariako Txakolina appellation. The 2023 Zarautz Txakoli is a blend of Xarel-lo, Viura, and Chardonnay, crafted to showcase the region's traditional winemaking style.

 

TASTING NOTES: Pale yellow to light golden color with a complex bouquet of lime, lychee, citrus, and stone fruits, backed by aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is fresh with tingly lemon and grapefruit citrus, tangy green apples, and a well-integrated, balanced mid-palate leading to a persistent finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Lovely as an aperitif, but also pairs well with white meat, fish—especially anchovies and halibut.
