Astobiza Vermouth Blanco

"It is the first vermouth in the world made with white wine from Ondarrabi Zuri grapes, harvested by hand and from Finca Astobiza, to which we add cereal alcohol with juniper from our London Dry Gin (best Gin in Spain 2020 at the World Gin Awards) , we adjust its kindness with grape must and macerate with different botanical times that we select with care. Among them, the presence of absinthe and citrus fruits of the environment stands out. The concept of vermouth comes from Damajuana No 3 out of 12 Damajuanas that we have used to perform hundreds of tests tasted by the Astobiza team over the last few years. The goal achieved: to balance bitterness and acidity in a long, clean and fresh palate, maintaining the Atlantic character of the wines we make and at the same time maintaining the gastronomic profile that characterizes us.The controlled maceration of secret botanicals is divided into citrus, herbal and bitter."

"The Astobiza winery is rooted in the winemaking tradition of the Ayala Valley, whose origins can be traced back to Retes de Llanteno according to the first written records from the year 864. The Astobiza facilities are located at the foot of the vineyard, where the land and the building blend into one, at the core of our wine-making operation. Although the old 18th century farmhouse remains, the modern production and storage plant decorate the agricultural landscape with traditional architecture and state-of-the-art equipment."
