Clear as crystal up front, and then come flavors of lemon and green apple. There is almost no overt sweetness to it; it’s quite acidic and sharp, which is common for the Hondarrabi Zuri grape from Northern Spain. As might be expected, green apple and lime control the austere finish. Good but very narrow in scope.

Mild lime and mineral aromas draw interest, but the wine’s palate is medium spritzy and sour, with sharp, lemony flavors and a dilute feel. Seems caught between the flat and lightly carbonated style of Txakoli and ends up in no man’s land.
