Ondarrabi Zuri Zerratia, often regarded as a refined expression of the Basque Country’s viticultural heritage, showcases a distinctive aromatic and flavour profile. On the nose, this grape offers vibrant citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—interwoven with white blossom, subtle green apple, and hints of saline minerality. The palate is crisp and lively, delivering fresh acidity alongside flavours of ripe pear, lime, and delicate herbal nuances, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish.
Predominantly grown in Spain's northern coastal regions, especially within the DO Getariako Txakolina and Bizkaiko Txakolina appellations, Ondarrabi Zuri Zerratia thrives in the temperate, Atlantic-influenced climate. Here, its wines are typically crafted in a light-bodied, often slightly effervescent style, designed to highlight their freshness and saline character.
Ideal for social and gastronomic occasions, these wines pair excellently with the local cuisine. Recommended matches include fresh seafood such as oysters, grilled prawns, and anchovies, as well as sushi and delicately spiced Asian dishes. The wine’s brightness also complements goat’s cheese, white asparagus, and lightly dressed salads, making it a versatile choice for contemporary food pairings.
