While most Txakoli is filtered to a crystal-clear shimmer, Ugaitz Iturbe, whose family has farmed this land for six generations, chooses to bottle this cuvée unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2024 vintage is a vibrant \"cloudy\" white wine that drinks with the texture of a light skin-contact orange wine. It is estate-grown, organic, and aged for six months on its lees to provide a richness that balances the high-energy acidity for which the region is famous. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Pours a hazy, pale straw color with a youthful, light effervescence that quickly settles into the glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: A burst of high-toned fruit. Dominant aromas of tart green apple and nectarine are layered with zesty lemon peel and a distinct \"seaspray\" salinity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Bracingly fresh and bone-dry. The unfiltered nature provides a creamy, yeasty weight that rounds out the sharp edges of the Hondarrabi Zuri grapes. You will find flavors of unripe peach, lime pith, and a flinty minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long, snappy, and mouth-watering. It finishes with a saline \"snap\" and a touch of savory almond. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Perfect Pour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is the ultimate partner for the \"tapas\" or \"pintxos\" lifestyle. Its natural acidity and saline core make it a perfect match for fresh oysters, boquerones (anchovies), or grilled sardines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eService Note:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is an unfiltered wine, you may see some natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Give it a gentle swirl before opening to integrate the flavors, and serve well-chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55286458613928,"sku":"868301000354","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/9764\/6760\/files\/UgabeUnfilteredTxakoli2023.png?v=1772128885","url":"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/products\/bodega-ugabe-unfiltered-txakoli-bizkaiko-txakolina-2024-750ml","provider":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
