Txakolina (which comes from the Basque language and is pronounced CHAK-o-lean-a) is a white wine that plays with the balance between dryness and acidity.  The Txakolina in our collection comes to us from the Mendraka winery. Their vineyard plots are on the slopes at an altitude of 245-300 metres above sea level. These conditions ensure that the grapes reach optimum ripeness, due to the constant sunshine, the slope of the land and ventilation.

REGION | Bizkaia, Spain
