Description
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.
Bright and clean appearance. Pale straw yellow colour with green reflections. Intense varietal aromas of white fruit such as pear and apple, combined with citrus notes of grapefruit and hints of stone fruit, notably peach.
On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced, with good structure and a subtle creamy texture from lees ageing. Long, aromatic and persistent finish, with delicate bitter and mineral notes reflecting the variety and the terroir.
Ideal with fresh seafood such as grilled prawns, shellfish or ceviche, as well as lightly grilled white fish, sushi, or creamy rice dishes like seafood risotto.
Suitable for Vegans.
