LIGHT-BODIED, ORCHARD FRUIT, ZIPPY, CITRUS, SALINE, NO OAK
Light, airy, and bright traditional table wine from the Basque region of Spain. Know for its traditional hint of ‘spritz’ on the palate, this fun and fresh white has notes of citrus, green apple, and minerality. Hints of salinity from the nearby ocean pair this perfectly with fresh seafood.
