Hondarrabi Zuri
75cl * 11% ABV * País Vasco, Spain
The Rezabals are folk singers, but their family history lies in winemaking, so they left singing behind and returned to making the Basque country's version of vinho verde: a low alcohol, lightly spritzy dry wine full of green apple and citrus flavours.
The vines are grown on overhead trellises so the fruit picks up sea breezes from the Atlantic, giving the wine a distinctive fresh salinity. Enjoy icy cold al fresco, poured from a great and theatrical height with grilled sardines or rich, plump green nocellara olives.
