The Etxaniz family estate is located in the heart of the Getaria zone at the town of Getaria itself, west along the coast from San Sebastian. It is also one of the oldest, with vineyard plantings contributing to the production of Txakoli since 1649. This Txueda Etxaniz family played an integral role in the modernisation, recognition, and creation of the DO Getariako Txakolina in 1989. Txomin Etxaniz has 35 hectares of protected, sloped vineyards, planted to the two native grapes, white Hondarrabi Zuri (90%) and red Hondarrabi Beltza (10%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Txomin Etxaniz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51032935923896,"sku":"8428599001000","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/2B338770-7435-438F-85EB-FAA3EA626BC6.jpg?v=1781161341"},{"product_id":"clos-saouma-inopia-cotes-de-rhone-villages-blanc-2022","title":"Clos Saouma Inopia Cotes du Rhone Villages Blanc 2023","description":"\u003ch4\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vast majority of their fruit is from their own vineyards around the winery in Orange, planted in 2014.
