Wine Expert Note:

Izar-Leku Mahastiak Hondarrabi Zuri is a white wine made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape variety. This grape is primarily grown in the Basque region of Spain, particularly in the Getariako Txakolina DO. On the nose, it offers delicate aromas of citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, as well as floral notes of white flowers and hints of green apple. On the palate, this wine is known for its refreshing and lively character. It has a crisp acidity that gives it a vibrant and zesty mouthfeel. The flavors are reminiscent of the aromas, with citrus fruits taking the forefront, accompanied by a subtle minerality. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a pleasant and invigorating sensation. Izar-Leku Mahastiak Hondarrabi Zuri is often enjoyed as an aperitif due to its light and refreshing nature. It pairs well with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish, as the acidity of the wine complements the flavors of the seafood. It can also be a great companion to fried foods, grilled vegetables, and light cheeses.
