2017 | Bodega Gaintza | Gaintza

Bright green-yellow. On the nose, high toned aromas of lemon, quince, green apple and sorrel are overlaid with sea spray and stony mineral notes. On the palate, puckering acidity and effervescence lend a practically gulpable appeal, with bright meyer lemon, apple and green herbs.

Producer Information

Bodega Gaintza has a long and proud history. Four generations of the Lazkano family have prepared, produced and distributed txakoli. Great-grandfather José Antonio made txakoli—for family consumption and sale in neighboring villages—from the vines in the Golindo country house since 1923. Guipuzcoa, in the Getaria subregion of the Spanish Basque country, is a surfer’s paradise. Long, rolling tubes and pristine beaches attract paddlers from all over the world to soak up the salt and sun, in search of the perfect ride. When they come ashore to refuel, very often they are pouring glasses of Txakolina, the refreshing effervescent indigenous wine of the Basque country. Bodega Gaintza is among the most popular, and with its vineyards situated on the bluffs overlooking the bay in Guipuzcoa, it is a wine that is unmistakably of this place. Gaintza, meaning “on top of,” refers to the aspect of the winery overlooking the bay in Guipuzcoa.
