Introducing Astobiza, Our Newest Winery Partner
Introducing Astobiza. We have been teasing our new Txacoli arrival for months now and I’m delighted to say that from next week you will begin seeing our Astobiza wines in Ireland!
Set within the Txakoli de Álava Protected Designation of Origin, the uniqueness of the cultivated vineyard and the production technology used achieve wines with a marked personality and excellent quality. Astobiza wines are made exclusively with grapes produced in this vineyard, with a closed estate development; that is, having a winery sized only to process the harvest produced in its own vineyard. Its production is therefore considered as Estate or Single-Vineyard Wines, where the characteristics of the viticultural ecosystem are reflected in the wines produced.
Caring for the land is as important as the winemaking process itself. With a philosophy based on sustainability, the values of environmental preservation, and the maintenance of tradition, they protect and pamper the land so that its fruit is as expected, respecting the terroir, without invasive techniques and with minimal mechanization.
Defending the unique personality of single-vineyard wines, making their culture and uniqueness known, motivated a group of winegrowers to create Grandes Pagos de España.
A non-profit association that brings together 32 prestigious wineries from all over the country with a common maxim: to produce excellent wines in harmony with the soil, nature and climate of each vineyard.
Each bottle of Txakoli reflects not only the authenticity of the terroir but also a real commitment to the present and future of the land that sustains it.
