Txakoli is a traditional wine from the Basque Country, made from indigenous white grape varieties.

Behind the great Txakolis is the star grape variety of the Basque Country, the Hondarrabi Zuri. Moreover, it is a wine with strong territorial roots, not only because it is made from native varieties, but also because it bears the mark of the maritime, temperate Atlantic climate.

Txakolis is produced within the framework of three Denominations of Origin, within which various small and medium-sized local family projects are framed.
Txakoli is produced in three Denominations of Origin located in the three Basque provinces of Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Araba. The first DO to be created was Getariako Txakolina/Txakoli de Getaria, with 440 hectares in production and 34 bodegas, where the most refreshing Txakolis are made.

Later, in 1994, the Bizkaiko Txakolina/Txakoli de Bizkaia Designation of Origin was created with 425 hectares of vineyards and 38 bodegas. Here the txakolis are distinguished by their complexity. Finally, in 2001 the Denomination of Origin Arabako Txakolina/Txakoli de Alava was created, with only 100 ha planted and 7 wineries.
