Pale pink in color with bright fuchsia highlights, this rosé is flecked with fine natural bubbles. The nose is invitingly fresh and fruity, with lifted mineral notes and hints of red berry.

Winemaker's Background:

The Txomin Etxaniz family has cultivated the art of txakoli in Getaria since 1649. Nestled on sea-facing slopes in Gipuzkoa, the family’s 60 hectares of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza vines reflect generations of stewardship, innovation, and deep respect for the land. As founding members of the Getariako Txakolina D.O., they have modernized their methods while maintaining tradition, pressing grapes in still atmospheres and aging the wine on lees to highlight its natural effervescence and terroir-driven character.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy this rosé well-chilled at 6–8°C. Its vivacity pairs effortlessly with a spread of oysters, grilled sardines, or lightly battered tempura. Also excellent with vegetable paella, soft cheeses, or as a stand-alone aperitif that refreshes in any season.

This beautifully made wine is a salute to Getaria’s sea-swept traditions, a crisp, effervescent expression that captures the soul of the Basque coast in every glass.
