Along a bustling path made of ancient cut cobblestone, shadows lengthen across the exterior walls. Taverns bursting at the seams with people searching for refuge and libations as the sun grows weary. At the edge of this narrow bustling thoroughfare, the cobblestone rises up and creates a barrier against the vast void of the Bay of Biscay. Laughter, playful arguments, and wanting whispers flood the air, adding to the oppressive heat the suns pushes towards me in its last ditch effort of discomfort for the day. I drink up every ray as my feet dangle towards the breaking waves. All is right. The sun rays slowly crossfade into the voices growing louder as the night begins.

Nose: light strawberry, cut grass, lemon thyme. All faintly so.

Palate: bell pepper, serrano pepper, thai basil, zippy, medium-high acid, light bodied, lower alcohol. — 9 days ago

Barrel aged blend of Hondarabbi Zuri and Beltza with Batonnage and lees aging. Wine is homage to old school txakoli. Think Chablis with crazy linear acidity. — 8 years ago

Very light, watery yellow. Lemon-lime aroma. Zippy crisp acidity. Structured. Tasting of a tart lemon bar with a mineral secondary note. This wine loves simple, light food - tapas, mushroom, shellfish. — 3 months ago
