Rekalde, Getaria Txakolina (Pays Basque, Spain) 2023

 This Getariako Txakolina Rosé hails from the region around the town of Getaria, renowned for its wines’ light natural carbonation.  The "RK" is part of the expanding category of Txakolina Rosés, which largely emerged over the last decade or so, gaining popularity in the United States thanks to Ameztoi’s Rubentis Rosé.  This wine is tart and refreshing, gently spritzy, with chalky flavors of citrus and red fruits.  Its lively acidity and effervescence make it an excellent pairing for seafood dishes, light salads, and tapas.  The unique character of the "RK" captures the essence of Getaria’s coastal vineyards.
