A nice introduction to the spritzy joys of modern Txakoli, this wine has plenty of energy and racy, just-short-of-wince-inducing lemon-lime acidity to go with the wash of apple and pear, then a seafoodready, sea-salty finish.

Consummate modern Txakoli with a bright burst of mango and grapefruit in Lilt style, balanced with the classic slight spritz and tongue-tingling sourness and lemony acidic bite that will do the pintxo-partnering job perfectly. Organic.
