Basque Country, Spain

The Basque Country, located in northern Spain, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and unique language. The region's wine production is characterized by its distinctive Txakoli wines, primarily made from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri grape. These wines are known for their light, fresh, and slightly effervescent qualities, often exhibiting bright acidity and subtle fruit flavors. The vineyards benefit from the maritime climate, with the Bay of Biscay providing a moderating influence that contributes to the wines' unique character. The region's commitment to preserving traditional grape varieties and sustainable viticulture practices has led to a resurgence in the popularity of Basque wines on the international stage. ​
