Why You'll Love It
This wine fizzes with energy. So refreshing, crisp and zingy. You'll love the wild strawberry and delicate floral aromas, and the palate is brimming with citrus fruits and bags of salty, mineral character. It's the perfect antidote to a summer heatwave. Perhaps a glass will remind you of sitting with your feet dangling over the harbour wall in San Sebastián?
Enjoy this with elaborate tuna salads, salmon and prawns on the barbecue, or Mexican cuisine.

About The Producer
Astobiza is a family owned, single estate winery located in Okondo, in the Ayala Valley of Álava (Basque Country).
With just 7 hectares under vine, within one protected site at 250 metres above sea level, the winery operates under a pago style model focused on maximum terroir expression. Sheltered by the Sierra Salvada mountains and influenced by the nearby Cantabrian Sea, Astobiza benefits from a rare Atlantic microclimate that supports slow, balanced ripening and high natural acidity. Founded in the mid 2000s, Astobiza has quickly established itself as one of Spain’s reference producers for premium, age worthy Txakoli. Now a member of Grandes Pagos de España, the estate works exclusively with native Basque varieties—Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Beltza and Izkiriota (Gros Manseng). Its wines are internationally distributed, positioned firmly within the fine dining and gastronomic segment, and recognised for redefining Txakoli as a serious, long lived wine style.

Winemaking Information
Carefully selected Hondarribi Zuri and Hondarrabi Belta grapes are processed immediately upon arrival at the winery. Following destemming and gentle crushing, the must undergoes a short, cold pre‑fermentative maceration on the skins to extract colour and enhance aromatic expression. This is followed by soft pressing and flotation clarification to obtain a clean, clarified must. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature conditions. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is racked off the gross lees and aged on fine lees for 4–5 months to enhance texture, complexity and mouthfeel. Prior to bottling, the wine is clarified, cold‑stabilised if required, and subjected to both plate and microbiological filtration to ensure clarity and stability.
