50% Hondarribi Beltza, 50% Hondarribi Zuri
STRAWBERRY, LIME ZEST, CRISP HERBS, SLATE & SEA
Glowing a luminous shade of pink, this rare offering from the enchantedly green northern reaches of Spain’s Basque country is a pristine, glimmering gemstone with faint spritz echoing its cool, Atlantic origins. Firm acidity, an herbaceousness that recalls fresh strawberry caps (and Cabernet Franc!), pronounced minerality, and a hallmark citrusy spark transport us to Akarregi Txiki’s idyllic vineyards overlooking the bay of Biscay – a rosé for all seasons.
Serving Suggestion: Oysters! Fried, ham-stuffed sardines w/ lemon. Albacore ceviche w/ avocado & cilantro. Creamy goat’s milk cheeses.
