TASTING NOTES
Txakoli KAIAREN is bright, clean and crystalline, of medium intensity with a lemon yellow color with flashes golden. High intensity on the nose with mineral notes typical of the terroir and white flowers. Aromas of incense and smoke typical of aging on lees. It has great volume and glyceric on the palate. A complex wine in flavors thanks to its long aging. The pastries and the toasted notes and the touches of gunpowder typical of the reduction after aging in the bottle stand out. Despite its age, it is a fresh wine thanks to its good acidity that makes it the perfect accompaniment for a wide variety of dishes.
