Txakolina, Berroia

lime • green apple • saline

This is a sharply defined, coastal white that leans into freshness and precision. Lime, green apple, and citrus peel lead, followed by a light herbal note and a distinct saline edge that gives the wine both lift and direction. A subtle natural spritz adds energy, keeping the palate lively without distracting from the wine’s clean structure.

The 2023 vintage reflects the cool, wet Atlantic conditions of Spain’s Basque coast, where vineyards sit on steep green hillsides overlooking the Bay of Biscay. The result is naturally high acidity and lower alcohol, giving the wine a brisk, lifted profile that prioritizes tension over ripeness.

Fermented entirely in stainless steel and bottled young to preserve aromatics and freshness, with a small amount of retained CO₂ that contributes to its signature light effervescence. The approach is minimal and deliberate, allowing the vineyard’s maritime influence to stay front and center.

Berroia is a modern producer in Bizkaiko Txakolina focused on clean, expressive wines that highlight the region’s coastal identity. Working primarily with Hondarrabi Zuri, they emphasize purity, freshness, and a style that feels both traditional and precise.

This is a wine built for immediacy and movement, ideal for seafood, salty snacks, and warm-weather drinking. It rewards casual sipping but still holds enough structure to feel intentional, making it equally suited for quick pours or a full glass on a patio.
