Bat Gara Txacoli Uno 2022: Clean Lines, Complex Finish
White 13.5% ABV ABV Bat GaraReally surprised by this one
Picked this up because the wine shop guy said it was something different. He wasn't wrong — it's got this amazing grapefruit and mineral thing going on that just keeps going. Under £17 as well which is a bonus. Would definitely buy again.
Nice with seafood
Bought this for a fish supper at home and it was a great match. Very crisp and clean with a slightly salty edge that worked really well. Not the most exciting wine I've ever had but solid for the price.
Bit too sharp for me
I can see why people rate this but personally found the acidity a bit much. The passionfruit nose was lovely though and the finish does go on forever. Might try it again with food rather than on its own.
Txacoli fans need to try this
So this is a Txacoli made with Riesling blended in which is pretty unusual. The elderflower and citrus peel notes are gorgeous and it's got way more complexity than you'd expect at this price point. Brought it to a dinner party and everyone wanted to know what it was.
Good summer wine
Had this at a friend's barbecue last weekend. Really refreshing, almost like biting into a grapefruit but in a good way. The minerally finish is nice too. At £17 it's not an everyday buy for me but I'd grab it for a special occasion.
