For those not familiar with Txakoli, it is an effervescent, dry white wine that comes out of the Basque region of Spain. The wine is a great aperitif and resembles a drier style of Vinho Verde.
The Ulacia Txacoli is perfect for citrus loving wine drinkers. The wine carries wonderful aromas of lime zest and green pear. On the palate, the wine pop with a little green apple skin and lemon. As we mentioned before, the wine is a GREAT aperitif that can be deliciously accompanied with steamed seafood dishes spiced with some a slight does of sweet paprika."The 2009 Ulacia is a fine example of Txakoli. Upon removing the cork, an enticing nose of lemon-lime, sea-salt, and mineral jumps from the bottle under pressure from the captured carbon dioxide. Crisp, refreshing, and concentrated (the 2009 vintage seems to provide these wines an extra lift), it will pair beautifully with raw bar over the next 12-18 months."Wine Advocate 89 points
