Alcohol importer Morgenrot has strengthened its Spanish wine offering with the addition of Txakoli Agerre, a slightly sparkling, dry white wine made in the Basque Country.
Produced by third-generation winemaker Emilio Agerre, the crisp and refreshing wine has notes of fresh citrus and green apple and pairs excellently with seafood, cured meats and hard cheeses, UK-based Morgenrot said. Available in cases of 12 with a list price of £7.96 a bottle, the 11% ABV Txakoli Agerre has already received its first listing in Mitchells and Butlers’ All Bar One venues across the country.
Morgenrot commercial director John Critchley said: “The Spanish food and drink scene is continuing to thrive in the UK with discerning consumers showing a thirst for discovering unique products from some of the lesser known regions. We’re positive this new wine will be a welcome addition to our Spanish stable plus bars, restaurants and retailers around the country. This fresh, citrusy wine has great acidity and minerality and is served from a height to add a soft sparkle to the glass and some theatre.”
