Alaia Txakoli - Case of 6
Sorry, this item is no longer available
Product code: 00990332
A unique, delicately spritzy dry Spanish white with mouth-watering aromas of acacia blossom, sea breeze and grapefruit followed by refreshingly crisp green apple flavours with a salty herbal tang.
Showing M&S's adventurous side once again, a Txakoli (pronounced CHA-KOH-LEE) from the extreme north of Spain, made from 100% Hondarrabi Zuri. Ozoney and bright, this is all about lift and freshness, not about obvious fruit; it's about seaside freshness and breeziness, apple and sherbet arriving on the palate, and there is very nice balance with a hint of ripeness and still that lovely cut apple verve. Delightful,shimmering stuff.

About this bottle: Hailing from the Basque region of Gipuzkoa in the north of Spain, Txakoli is a vivacious young wine traditionally served in bars and poured – with typical Basque flair – at height into tall glasses. M&S winemaker Sue Daniels and Ignacio Ameztoi, owner of the Amesguren Winery, created this particular example using aromatic and zesty Hondarrabi Zuri grapes from the Estate's coastal vineyards.

Taste of San Sebastian at home
Yes, I recommend this
Lovely fresh and spritzy wine, I bought this as I just came back from San Sebastian where this is considered a local drink- and I have many friends who also go to San Seb so it's a way of keeping the holiday alive! Elegant label and bottle shape, tasted delicious- I just need to practice pouring it from a height without spilling it everywhere...

A refreshing drop.
Yes, I recommend this
Very fresh, lightly fizzy, crisp lemony taste. Not too high alcohol level. All round a very pleasant refreshing wine, particularly nice as an appetiser before dinner. First time I've seen it for sale, having had it in my favourite Tapas bar. A different alternative to Prosecco or Cava. A very modest price too, I'll drink it often if available. I think it will catch on!

Great discovery
Yes, I recommend this
This wine was a serendipitous find but with its as described spritzy character it is a wonderful summer drink. Have reordered several times. The price point is a shame but with vouchers etc well worth it! Probably even without as a treat mmmm!!

Memories of San Sebastián
Yes, I recommend this
While on our summer holiday in San Sebastián, we visited several of the fantastic pintxos bars there where we enjoyed the local wine, Txakoli. I had never even heard of this wine previously but it is light and easy to drink with a fruity flavour. I was therefore delighted to find this wine at Marks and Spencer and we continue to enjoy it while the sun shines
