Gaintza Txakolina Rosado 2019

Tasting: The traditional wines of the Basque country often have an intriguing prickle to them due to being rested on lees after fermentation in an anaerobic environment at low temperatures. A wonderfully expressive nose of blossom and wet stones leads to a palate of wild strawberry, cherries and sea sprayed cranberries, rounded off deliciously with crisp acidity and the aforementioned slight spritz.
