A popular white wine variety native to Spain's Basque Country, hondarrabi zuri is a key ingredient in this region's light and fizzy wines like txakoli. Hondarrabi zuri is a bright and fresh-tasting wine with marked minerality. Txakoli wines that contain this grape variety are easy to find, while pure hondarrabi zuri wines are not available commercially.

Txakoli is a white wine variety with a refreshing flavor and slight sparkling acidity, thanks to hondarrabi zuri grapes. It's a light-bodied drink with lower alcohol levels, ranging from 9.5% to 11.5% ABV. Citrus flavors with faint herbal notes stand out in this Spanish wine. Lemon, lime, apple and pear notes greet the palate, combining slight minerality and salinity for a lovely zesty touch. Its light and mildly fizzy texture makes it the perfect summer drink, and the almost-sherbet like finish acts as a great palate cleanser. The tiny, fleeting bubbles give this wine a gentle effervescence, which means it's great to pop open a bottle for a special celebration — or just because you feel like it.

This low ABV wine's spritzy feel goes well with seafood dishes like ceviche, oysters or sushi. It's a tasty drink that matches the region's famed tapa-like snacks known as pintxos that feature fish or stuffed peppers. The sharp acidity of this drink makes it a nice beverage to savor with finger foods and snacks like hard cheeses, raw oysters or salty and deep-fried munchies.
