Txacoli

¿De visita por el País Vasco? Opta por un vino Txakoli
Txakoli o Chacolí es un vino predominantemente blanco, originario del País Vasco (España),
aunque también se producen algunos rosados y tintos.
Txacoli
Entre sus características particulares del Txakoli, podemos mencionar las siguientes: es un
vino de baja graduación alcohólica –entre 9,5% y 11%– y presenta una ligera burbuja que
produce un agradable cosquilleo en el paladar.
El hecho de que sea ligeramente carbonatado se explica por el remanente de CO2 que es absorbido por el vino durante la fermentación.
Si nos referimos a sus cualidades organolépticas, podríamos afirmar que es un vino mineral, de fresca acidez, con notas a cítricos como limón y manzana verde. Pero también posee una cierta redondez y cuerpo que le son atribuidos por el hecho de que el Txakoli permanece un
tiempo sobre sus lías; esto le confiere cierta untuosidad que junto a su ligera burbuja lo convierten en un vino muy apetecible como aperitivo, para maridar pescados y toda clase de mariscos. Por esta razón, combina muy bien con las especialidades de la gastronomía vasca.
Los vinos Txacoli blancos se elaboran a partir de las variedades de uva Hondarrabi Zuri en tres sub-zonas del País Vasco que están consideradas como Denominaciones de Origen:
  • Álava
  • Getaria (Getariako Txakolina)
  • Vizcaya (Bizkaiko)
De las tres, la más grande es Getaria, que posee la mayor concentración de viñedos e incluye los municipios de Getaria, Zarautz y Aia.
Si estás de paseo por el País Vasco, no dejes de probar el Txakoli. ¡Realmente te sorprenderá!

  • AMAZING EXPERIENCE
    We visited 3 vineyards in Madrid. Passion and Knowledge for wines are the main words that come to mind when I remember Jimena; she was an excellent guide to my family and friends. I recommend her 100% to do something different and unique in Madrid.

  • AMAZING WINE TOUR!!!
    My boyfriend and I did this tour together and we absolutely loved it! Jimena,the guide and owner of the company, made this tour personal and intimate. It was just the two of us and it was an up close and personal experience. We were able to see the vineyard, a historic cellar and taste the wines guided by a fifth generation wine maker. This experience is not something a large tour company with a lot of people would have been able to do. We highly recommend this tour. You will feel VIP!!

  • FUN TOUR!
    My 3 nieces and I recently enjoyed the Half Day Wine Tour with Jimena and Colorful Wines. It was a perfect day trip from Madrid and we really enjoyed our time with the owner of a local generational winery. Jimena was knowledgeable and a great tour guide/translator for our time together. I would highly recommend Colorful Wines and Jimena for a future wine tour.

  • GREAT TOUR OF MADRID WINERY
    Jimena set up a spectacular wine tour for my girlfriend and I at a small, 5-generation winery outside of Madrid. We saw everything that goes into winemaking, from touring the vineyard and tasting grapes to the bodega where the wine is fermented in huge clay tanks and finally to the ancient cellar where it sits in bottles. We finished our tour with a tasting. Jimena did a great job translating and answering all of our questions. Thanks Jimena!

  • PERSONALIZED AND REWARDING! A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
    Combining colorful wines, family traditions, and exceptionally educated and caring hosts, Colorful Wines has created a once in a lifetime tour experience. My wife and I loved the complete personalized atmosphere. From the 5th generation family owned and operated vineyard, to the history of the region, we were continuously impressed and inspired. Jimena and Colorful Wines’ knowledge of oenology was outstanding.

  • AMAZING TOUR WITH COLORFUL WINES!!!
    Our hotel front desk personnel at The Mint recommended Colorful Wines and we are so grateful they did. My husband and I had a great time touring the Jose Diaz E Hijos vineyards, winery and tasting the fabulous wines. Our half day excursion was a great personalized tour with Jimena and her driver. We learned a lot of the area and the wines. JImena is so personable, knowledgeable and fun. I’ve been on a few wines tours in Napa and this tour was so much more than others.

  • A WONDERFUL PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE
    We decided at the last minute in Madrid to book a wine tour and Jimena could not have been more accommodating. She arranged on one day’s notice to take us to a small family owned Organic winery about 35 minutes outside of Madrid. We were promptly picked up at our hotel for the scenic ride to the vineyard during which Jimena explained to us the varieties of wines in Spain. Upon our arrival at the vineyard we were greeted by the owner’s daughter…

  • We did the local Madrid wine tour: “Organic Bodega near Madrid & Cervantes’ Birthplace”
    Jimena was a fantastic guide, the winery is a very special place with Carlos the owner and his wife being the perfect hosts. Carlos with the history of the beginnings of their winery and a walk through the vineyard, finishing with wine tasting and parings. Lunch was fantastic! Tour of the town of Alcalá de Henares is very historic and small and a perfect ending…

  • I recently went with some friends to a beautiful winery near Madrid, and we experienced different wines (although my favourite ones are Rioja wines, I loved the wines from Madrid DO we tasted) and also gastronomic specialties. We absolutely loved it, it was a great experience! Jimena was a wonderful guide who showed us the area, described everything in depth and detailed all the wine characteristics. We tasted fabulous wines and the winery was really nice. Would love to repeat the experience…
