Bodega Astobiza (located in the Ayala Valley, Okondo
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. Sheltered by the Sierra Salvada mountains and influenced by the nearby Cantabrian Sea, Astobiza benefits from a rare Atlantic microclimate that supports slow, balanced ripening and high natural acidity. Founded in the mid 2000s, Astobiza has quickly established itself as one of Spain’s reference producers for premium, age worthy Txakoli. Now a member of Grandes Pagos de España, the estate works exclusively with native Basque varieties—Hondarrabi Zuri, Hondarrabi Beltza and Izkiriota (Gros Manseng). Its wines are internationally distributed, positioned firmly within the fine dining and gastronomic segment, and recognised for redefining Txakoli as a serious, long lived wine style.
Astobiza Rosé is produced from a rigorous plot by plot vineyard selection, with grapes harvested by hand into small crates to preserve fruit quality. A second selection is carried out on the sorting table to ensure only the best fruit is used. The wine is made from an equal blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza, two indigenous Basque varieties that express freshness, minerality and saline character.
Floral aromas with notes of white flowers and strawberries. On the palate it is citrus-driven and fresh, showing typical varietal character with mineral and saline touches. Well balanced, intense, with a long and persistent aromatic finish.
Grape: 50% Hondarrabi Zuri and 50% Hondarrabi Beltza
