A single estate, Atlantic‑kissed vineyard, a protected pago site and a family determined to elevate Txakoli into the realm of fine wine. Astobiza Blanco is crafted in the Ayala Valley of Álava, where the Sierra Salvada mountains shelter the vines and the nearby Cantabrian Sea shapes a rare microclimate. Slow ripening, high natural acidity and native Basque varieties come together to create a wine of purity, precision and unmistakable terroir. This is Txakoli redefined: elegant, age‑worthy and deeply rooted in its Basque identity.

Why You'll Love It

This is Txakoli with sophistication and structure. Astobiza Blanco offers bright fruit, mineral tension and a subtle creaminess from lees ageing, delivering a wine that is both refreshing and gastronomic. Its Atlantic freshness, fine balance and expressive aromatics make it a standout choice for lovers of crisp, terroir‑driven whites. Crafted from native Hondarrabi Zuri, it is a bottle that brings clarity, finesse and a sense of place.

Vineyard and Production

Sourced exclusively from Astobiza’s single vineyard in Okondo at around 250 metres above sea level, the wine reflects a cool Atlantic climate moderated by surrounding mountains. Clay‑based soils with limestone, slate and marl provide structure and minerality, while micro‑plots are managed individually for precision. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with sustainable, biodiversity‑focused viticulture guiding every decision. Winemaking begins with cold maceration to enhance aromatics, followed by gentle pressing and temperature‑controlled fermentation. Ageing on fine lees for several months adds texture and depth, before careful clarification and filtration ensure purity and stability.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green reflections, it opens with aromas of pear, apple and citrus, alongside hints of peach and subtle Atlantic salinity. The palate is fresh and well‑balanced, combining crisp acidity with a delicate creamy texture from lees ageing. The finish is long, aromatic and mineral, with a gentle bitter note that speaks clearly of Hondarrabi Zuri and its terroir.

Perfect Pairings

This dry white wine is a natural partner for seafood in all its forms like grilled prawns, shellfish, ceviche and lightly grilled white fish. It also shines with sushi, sashimi and creamy seafood risotto, where its acidity and minerality cut beautifully through richness.
