Txakoli Primo Rosado | Zarutz, Spain

£12.80

Like their white wine, Primo’s Rosado is a young, fruity wine with lower alcohol, balancing crispness and sparkle.

It gets its natural light fizz through a change of temperature directly after fermentation. The wine is kept at a very cool temperature in order to preserve that carbonic touch that makes it so fresh.

This Rosado is a blend of 50% Xarel-lo, 30% Viura, 18% Tempranillo and 2% Chardonnay with minimum residual sugar.

Txakoli (pronounced ‘Tcha-Ko-Lee’) is a slightly sparkling, dry and crisp white wine with a comparatively low alcohol content. It is produced entirely in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country.

Spain’s answer to Vinho Verde, but sometimes drier and with a little more fizz, Txakoli is not a fully sparkling wine but has a natural ‘spritz’. It is traditionally poured from head height into the glass held at waist level – this flamboyant serving aerates the wine and helps add a certain ‘sparkle’. Txakoli is perfect light drinking and, for the Basque people, often accompanies seafood pinchos.
