Buy White Wines from the Basque Country

White wines from the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain, are known for their uniqueness and quality.

 

Grape varieties

The main grape used in the production of white wines in the Basque Country is the local variety called Hondarrabi Zuri, along with Hondarrabi Beltza for rosé wines. These varieties are adapted to the climate and coastal terrain of the Basque Country.

 

Climate and terroir

The Basque Country has an Atlantic climate, influenced by the proximity of the Cantabrian Sea. This creates optimal conditions for growing white grapes, as the sea breeze brings freshness and acidity to the grapes. The soil varies from sandy soils on the coast to more clay soils inland, which adds complexity to the wines.

 

Wine styles

White wines from the Basque Country tend to be fresh, lively and with marked acidity. Many of them are made in a slightly sparkling style known as "txakoli." These wines are light and characterized by their natural effervescence.

 

Pairing

The white wines of the Basque Country are ideal to accompany seafood dishes, fish, pintxos (Basque tapas) and regional dishes such as Biscayan-style cod. Its freshness and acidity complement Basque gastronomy.

 

Appellations of origin

The region has several Denominations of Origin (D.O.), such as D.O. Getariako Txakolina and D.O. Bizkaiko Txakolina, which specialize in the production of white wines and txakoli.

 

In short, the white wines of the Basque Country reflect the unique characteristics of this coastal region of northern Spain. They are fresh and vibrant wines that stand out for their acidity, ideal to pair with the rich Basque cuisine and enjoy in a picturesque setting by the sea.
