Txomin Etxaniz is a winery located in the Getaria region of Spain, in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country. The winery was founded in 1930 and is named after its founder, Txomin Etxaniz, who was a pioneering figure in the production of txakoli wine in the area.
The winery owns 22 hectares of vineyards that are planted with the native Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza grape varieties, which are used to produce their signature txakoli wines. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes overlooking the Bay of Biscay and are influenced by the sea breeze, which gives the wines their characteristic acidity and freshness.
Txomin Etxaniz produces a range of txakoli wines, including the classic Txomin Etxaniz Getariako Txakolina, which is made from a blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza grapes and is known for its crisp, refreshing acidity and notes of green apple, citrus, and sea salt. The winery also produces a range of single-varietal txakolis, including the Hondarrabi Zuri and the Hondarrabi Beltza.
In addition to their txakoli wines, Txomin Etxaniz also produces a small range of red and white wines that are made from grapes sourced from other regions of Spain, including Rioja and Rueda.
Txomin Etxaniz is committed to sustainable and organic farming practices, and they use only natural methods to control pests and diseases in their vineyards. The winery is also committed to preserving the traditional methods of txakoli production, which includes the use of a distinctive pouring technique that creates a slight effervescence in the wine.
