Description
Ameztoi’s 2024 Txakoli Blanco is a brisk, feather‑light white that crackles with acidity and coastal salinity. Pale straw in the glass with a faint emerald tint, it shows a light natural spritz when first poured. The nose is lifted and intensely fresh: lime zest, green apple skin, and tart melon layered with subtle tropical notes like pineapple and a hint of underripe banana, all edged by a salty sea‑spray nuance. On the palate, it’s bone‑dry, ultra‑crisp, and low in alcohol, with that trademark tingle from dissolved CO₂ amplifying flavors of lemon‑lime, green melon, and citrus pith over a distinctly briny, almost shell‑like mineral core. The finish is snappy and mouthwatering, leaving a lingering impression of salt, citrus, and crushed stone that begs for another sip. Serve well‑chilled, ideally poured from a bit of height in the traditional style, alongside oysters, anchovy pintxos, or simply salted potato chips to underline its refreshing, seaside character.
