Tantaka Txakoli Red Wine from Álava

Juanjo Tellaetxe, a winemaker with Basque roots and a passion for authenticity, decided in 2017 to revive the old traditions of the Arrastaria Valley, where his family had been cultivating native grapes for over 80 years. His mission is clear: to make wines with soul, honest wines with the unique character of his land.
Tantaka Tinto is their calling card in red. Made entirely from Hondarrabi Beltza, the quintessential Basque red grape, this wine breaks the mold. Instead of oak barrels, it's aged on its lees in stainless steel tanks for five months. The result? A fresh, light red wine with a personality that immediately strikes both the eye and the palate.
Ideal for those moments when you want a different kind of wine, perfect for pairing with anything from a cheese and charcuterie board to a casual meal with friends. Because yes, there is more to wine than the conventional red, and this is a prime example.
Tantaka Tinto is more than a wine, it's a Basque experience with attitude and authentic flavor.

Visual: Bright cherry red with a medium body, which already invites you to take a good sip.
Nose: Fresh red fruit (currants, cherries), with a spicy touch that awakens curiosity.
