ASTOBIZA: UNICO WORLD
The wineries of Astobiza are located in the alavesa town of Okondo, in the district of Jandiola, on a farm that consists of 10 hectares of own vineyard. The vineyard is located 300 meters above sea level and due to its situation between mountains, it is protected from the moisture of the fog and the winter frost, so harmful to our dear indigenous grape. The farm has a 100% indigenous grape plantation Ondarrabi zuri and Gros Manseng. The Señorio de Astobiza house dates back to the end of the 18th century... throughout its history has gone from being a family house to housing the winery, where we have private events. ASTOBIZA performs the collection process manually in small boxes where we mimic each cluster and our staff selects and separates the best clusters. The average grape production ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 kg per hectare per year. Not high amounts, compared to the production of other white grape plantations in the Basque Country. The system of making our txakolis follow the most avant-garde production methodology and processes of the moment thanks to the most advanced technology: cold maceration, inertization, cold stabilization, maximum respect for the indigenous grape. ASTOBIZA wants to reflect in its txakoli the environment and the climate, attached to the character of our indigenous grapes... produce a dry, fruity, color, aroma and no needle.
