Doniene Gorrondona is the leading producer in the Bizkaiko Txakolina appellation. It was created in 1996 in the village of Bakio, continuing a long family tradition of Txakoli production. Their 2021 Gorrondona is mainly Hondarrabi Zuri but with small percentages of other grapes. The palate is light, fresh, and well balanced, with aromas and flavors of tart green apple, white peach, salted lemon, and wet slate that are more pronounced because of the wine’s racy acidity. This is a classic Txakoli with good persistence and length.
