For three generations, the Agerre family has cultivated their single vineyard in Getaria, crafting authentic Basque Txakoli with a deep respect for tradition. Today, Emilio Agerre leads the winery alongside his wife and son, producing just 12,000 cases annually—a true reflection of artisanal winemaking.

Set against the wild Atlantic backdrop, Agerre’s vines thrive in sandy loam soils over gravel, with the steep coastal slopes providing excellent drainage. The Hondarribi Zuria vines, aged 10 to 30 years, are trained to 6ft high, ensuring good ventilation and minimising ground moisture—ideal conditions for creating bright, zesty Txakoli.

Txakoli (pronounced Tcha-Ko-Lee) is a Basque speciality: light, bone-dry, and naturally spritzy, with a refreshing, low-alcohol charm. Traditionally, it’s poured from head height into a glass at waist level—a signature flourish that aerates the wine and enhances its delicate sparkle.

At Agerre, the Hondarribi Zuria grapes are fermented in whole clusters for added complexity, using native yeasts and six weeks of lees contact to build depth and character. The result? A crisp, lively white wine that captures the spirit of the Basque coast.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
