Txakoli · Bilbao
Txakoli is the Basque white wine: high-acid, lightly effervescent, made from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri grape, traditionally poured from height at the bar to release the natural spritz.
Txakoli (or txakolina in Basque) is a centuries-old Basque white, with three DO regions (Bizkaiko Txakolina, Getariako Txakolina, Arabako Txakolina) producing tense, low-alcohol wines from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape. The traditional service is escanciado: pouring from above shoulder height into a wide glass to release the natural spritz before the pour reaches the table. Bilbao bars from Bar Charly to Cork all pour txakoli; the wine drinks alongside every pintxo on the counter.
