Ameztoi

This is a lightly fizzy, refreshing white from vines on the Atlantic Coast of northern Spain. Ameztoi is a top estate for Txakoli wines and this wine is drawn from vineyards above the coastal town of Getaria. Txakoli is famous for its formidable level of acidity but it is supremely refreshing on a hot day. The Ameztoi Getariako Txakoli is a delicious and zesty white made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape variety. It has an enticing bouquet of lemon zest, pear, and delicate flowers. Clean, pure and lively on the palate, the ripe citrus and pear fruits are all the more evident because of its razor’s edge of acidity. The fizzy hint only adds to the refreshment. It is a perfect wine to pair with fresh seafood dishes or just to serve as a brisk aperitif. 90 Wayne Belding

Medium yellow in color, this wine has a bouquet of apricot, green pear and cocoa butter. It is bright on the palate, offering flavors of Valencia orange, caramelized pineapple, white chocolate and Turkish delight that sail into a vivid finish.
