SPANISH SUMMER SIPPER
"Two co-workers and I tasted this Bodega's wines and were so impressed... we were truly blown away! The only problem was that there was no importer for these stunning wines. So we asked one of our favorite importers to take a look and asked him to add theses wines to his portfolio. He did, and the rest is history. The 2019 Oxer
Bastegieta Marko Txakoli is completely brand new to the US market and we couldn't be more excited about it!
Oxer Bastegieta is a relative newcomer to the region of Rioja but his family have owned a restaurant and winery in the Bizkaiko Txakolina appellation (Basque Country) for some time. It was his father who asked him to make a Txakoli for the family restaurant, which later inspired him to get a degree in Wine Growing and Oenology in Laguardia, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. The 2019 Oxer Bastegieta Marko Txakoli is a beautiful white wine that has fantastic flavors of lime, pear and green apples with a mouthwatering touch of salinity on the finish. The interesting label features the rock paintings found in the nearby Santimamiñe Caves. If you have been lucky enough to enjoy a vacation in Spain you may have tried
Txakoli and already fallen in love with it, if not this is a great opportunity to experience what may be your new favorite white wine. Cheers!" – Jim Knight, The Wine House
