In the town of Getaria in the Basque region of Spain is a beautiful little wine Called "Balea". The wine is pronounced "ch" as in "charge" Txakoli "Cha-kolee" white. Crisp, spritzy dry white based on the local white grape, Hondaribbi Zuri. They are fermented on native yeasts over the course of five months in stainless steel, then aged on their lees.
