Astobiza is situated within the Txakoli de Álava DO, and the wines are made exclusively with grapes produced from the estate. The vineyard is located in the small rural municipality of Oquendo, in the province of Álava, about 30 minutes from Bilbao, on a 10-hectare estate divided into 7 micro-plots. Located 250 meters above sea level, it is protected by mountains and far from the bottom of the valley, thus sheltering it from fog and winter frost. 100% of their grapes come from autochthonous varieties, mainly Ondarrabi Zuri, some Ondarrabi Zuri Zerratie (Petit Corbu), and a small plot of Izkiriota (also known as Gros Manseng).
750ml mlClean and bright. Straw yellow colour with shades of green. Intense varietal aromas, with overtones of white fruit, (pear and apple), citrus fruit (grapefruit), and stone fruit (peach). Fresh in mouth, lively, balanced, long, persistent aromatic finish, with slightly bitter and mineral varietal overtones from the soil.
