A standout selection, the NV Astarbe Sagardotegia Sidra Natural showcases the expertise of Astarbe Sagardotegia. This exceptional wine is crafted in the heart of Basque Country, Spain, benefitng from the local terroir.
"For the past five centuries– 461 years to be exact– Astarbe Sagardotegia has been a titan in Basque cider making. Their influence is so palpable that two common apple varieties in the region are "Astarbe", the family's surname, and "Mendiola", the name of their farmhouse. A blend of these two varietals with a handful of other heirloom apples are ground and pressed into stainless steel tank, where the must sits for a day, before being transferred to wooden casks for fermentation. After resting on lees for two months, it is bottled unfiltered. The result is a slightly effervescent dry cider with crisp acidity, herbal aromas, and fresh sharp apple notes on the palate. Enjoy alongside pollo al chilindrón, a local chicken and pepper stew."
