Sorkin 2021

Txakoli is made from the Basque grape Hondarrabi Zuri, also known as Petit Corbu in France.  An incredible first vintage from Aitor Irazu has all the laser-like acidity that's typical of Txakoli, but also a depth of fruit and texture we have never tasted before in wines from the region.

Sorkin means sorcerer in Basque and this is indeed a magical cuvée: seriously delicious, micro-quantity and currently being poured at the best restaurants across Spain. We are thrilled to introduce it to the US!

Region: Getariako Txakoli (Basque, Spain)
Grapes: Hondarrabi Zuri, Beltza

 About the winemaker: Aitor Irazu is out to make world-class white wine in the Basque Country, in the north of Spain on the Atlantic Ocean. The Basque region is a much-renowned gastronomic capital, but the local wines – known as Txakoli – are typically low-key, spritzy affairs to pair with the amazing, abundant seafood. Farming bio-dynamically a forgotten plot of vines on an isolated valley sheltered from the coastal Atlantic winds, Aitor is turning out magical, high-tension and profound wines.
