2022 Balea Rose Getariako Txakolina

AWESOME! That was my note to myself with this wine. I love Txakolina rose. There is just something about the fruit character and how it works with its crisp acidity and the little bit of trapped CO2 that gives these wines that little something extra. The berries tones are more pronounced, there is more depth of flavor and there is none of that hard candy thing that you can find sometimes in other Roses. It is a little more expensive when compared to wines from the south of France, but there is more wine here not to mention the challenges of growing grapes in one of the most Atlantic of all growing regions. This is a dinner wine, but it is super crushable. I would suggest that if you are planning to serve this for dinner, buy two bottles. The first bottle will disappear way before any food touches a plate. Topa!
