Today, the geographical area of the Getariako Txakolina Designation of Origin is the province of Gipuzkoa with 402 hectares devoted to vineyards. Consisting mostly of trained vines, 90% of them are located in coastal areas.
The Ondarrabi Zuri white grape variety is the main one used to produce Getaria txakolí.
GETARIA TXAKOLI (Basque wine)
Txakoli is a young, fruity white wine. Of moderate strength (11º) and with a slight characteristic acidity, it is a highly unique, distinctive wine. It should be served chilled; that way, it gives off its full range of aromas along with tiny carbonic acid bubbles, which is the result of its characteristic wine-making process.
If you visit one of our registered wineries, we recommend sampling it with salted anchovies and tuna fish or bonito in oil, which is the way we Getaria Txakoli winegrowers like to serve it.
