ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Changing up the routine: Funky, unique grape varietals you must try
Laura Olson
Looking to shake up your usual wine routine? Here at The Dinner Party, we're lucky to have access to intriguing and eye-opening wines made from unique and obscure grapes that will tickle (and sometimes straight-up confuse) your tastebuds. As a self-proclaimed wine enthusiast, I'm always on the hunt for bottles made from grapes that are off the beaten path and I’m excited to share a few of the interesting ones I’ve come across recently.
One of my newest discoveries is the 2021 Rezabal Txakoli White from the Basque region of Spain. This wine, made from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri grape, produces a lightly effervescent white wine with briny minerality and flavors of citrus, green apple, and lime. In Basque country, this wine is a principal part of their culture. Locals often enjoy Txakoli in wide tumblers poured from a height to increase the natural effervescence. The wines are ideally served chilled with pintxos (Basque tapas) and seafood. Their low alcohol content (around 10%) makes Txakoli an ideal quaffing wine that can be enjoyed all afternoon long amongst friends.
