________________________________________
The Heritage of Coastal Txakoli
The value of this experience is elevated by pairing the elvers with Txakoli, a distinctively Basque white wine shaped by the steep, Atlantic-facing vineyards of the region. Produced in limited quantities by small-scale, family-run estates, this naturally effervescent wine features a sharp acidity and saline minerality that cuts perfectly through the rich olive oil preparation of the angulas. Connecting these two highly localized, geography-dependent products provides an unparalleled look into the authentic culinary identity of the Basque Coast.
