Txomin Etxaniz Rosé Txakoli de Getaria DO

Txakoli de Getaria DO, Spain

Rosé Txakoli from Hondarrabi Beltza (red) and Hondarrabi Zuri; pale salmon colour with the same bracing acidity and slight spritz as the white. Red fruit, strawberry, sea spray, and lime. More food-versatile than the white; works with cold meats, charcuterie, and medium-weight dishes while maintaining the Txakoli freshness.

Pairing intelligence

• aperitif: Txakoli Rosé with the Basque 'marriage' anchovy pintxo; the wine's acidity and effervescence refresh between the cured fish bites
• starter: Atlantic sardines with Atlantic Txakoli rosé; the briny acidity of both the wine and the sea fish create a coastal harmony
• main: Traditional Basque fisherman's stew with Txakoli rosé; the wine's acidity bridges the tuna and piquillo pepper depth
