If you want to surprise someone and try something different, look no further: here's a Txakoli aged on its lees with plenty of character. Fresh, saline, and with just the right touch that begs for tapas and good conversation. You know, if you're having an aperitif (no watch, please!), this Txakoli is ideal. It's that simple: snack with cheese and toast without excuses.
This is no ordinary wine. It's Juanjo Tellaetxe's dream bottled, a tribute to his Basque roots and the land of the Arrastaria Valley where it all began. Juanjo doesn't mess around: he's committed to authenticity, sustainable farming practices, and making a txakoli that's meant to be savored, without frills, and with plenty of personality.
Tantaka—which means “drop by drop” in Basque—is a white wine aged on its lees that exudes tradition and respect. Fresh, saline, and with that spark that invites you to open a lid of good cheese, take out some gourmet tins, and put together a simple snack—pure enjoyment.
And what does it pair well with? Well, with just about anything on the table: white fish, seafood, roasted vegetables, or simply an impromptu aperitif with friends. If there's aged cheese and a glass of this txakoli on the table, you've got the perfect recipe for a leisurely after-dinner conversation you won't want to end.
Because good wine isn't imposed, it's shared. And this one, my friend, is meant to be shared without measure.
