Isastegi Sagardo Naturala is a traditional Basque cider crafted by Isastegi Sagardotegia, located in the Basque Country of Spain. This natural cider is produced using indigenous apple varieties, primarily the sharp Errezil, sourced from local orchards.
The fermentation process employs natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a beverage that embodies the authentic characteristics of Basque cider. Tasting notes reveal aromas of apple skin, orchard floor, pear, and mandarin zest, offering a complex and slightly sour profile with a touch of funk.
Isastegi Sagardotegia is a traditional Basque cider house located in Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Spain. During the Txotx season, which runs from January to April, visitors can enjoy freshly poured cider directly from barrels, accompanied by traditional dishes such as cod omelet, cod with peppers, and succulent steak.
