Description

Astobiza's vineyard is located in the small rural town of Oquendo, in the province of alava, about 30 minutes from Bilbao. Located 250 meters above sea level, it is protected by mountains and far from the valley floor.

This Txakoli is clean and crisp with flavours of pear, grapefruit and peach. The palate is lively with a dash of refreshing minerality. Serve cold, in a glass, at about 8-10 degrees, it is ideal to combine with sushi, white fish and cold seafood. For contrasting pairings, try with Gorgonzola and Cabrales type cheese for an interesting juxtaposition.

Bodega Astobiza Txakolina

Initially planted in 1996, the winery facilities at Astobiza were built in 2006. Conceived as a professional exploitation unit, the Astobiza Winery was born and developed with the aim of growing in innovation and quality. Xabier Abando, a passionate wine businessman was the driving force. Astobiza is governed by the principles of transparency, proximity and identification with the family project, which is at the same time consistent with a philosophy based on innovation and research.

Basque Country

The Basque Country, located in northern Spain, is a unique wine region renowned for its distinctive and high-quality offerings. The region benefits from a temperate maritime climate with abundant rainfall and mild temperatures, influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The region is particularly famous for its txakoli (or chacolí), a traditional, lightly sparkling white wine made primarily from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape. Txakoli is known for its fresh, crisp acidity, green apple notes, and slight effervescence. The region also produces notable reds, including those made from Hondarrabi Beltza, which are typically light, fruity, and aromatic.
