Pale lemon in colour, this crisp wine displays classic green apple and aromatic lemon notes. On the palate, it has mouth-watering acidity with an aromatic and fresh finish.

The 20 to 30-year-old vines are planted on soils comprised of clay, sand and limestone within east-facing vineyards that help to maximise their exposure to the sun and to protect them from westerly winds. The proximity to the Atlantic means that the climate here is humid, mild and wet. As such, the vines are trained to a height of nearly two metres to provide the best possible ventilation, while the steep slopes and sandy soils, rich in organic matter, allow for excellent drainage.

Owned by the Ostolaza family, Bodega Agerre comprises 15 hectares of vineyards planted on hillsides overlooking the medieval fishing village of Getaria and the Bay of Biscay, just a few miles from San Sebastián. Emilio Agerre is the family’s third generation winemaker making traditional-style Txakoli, from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape variety.
