Astarbe Sagardotegia Byhur 24 Sparkling Hard Cider
Astarbe is one of the oldest cider houses in Gipuzkoa (founded in 1563), run by the same family that generation after generation, for five centuries, has been dedicated to making cider and growing apple trees. Byhur 24 is a sparkling cider made using the méthode traditionnelle. Aged for 24 months.
A complex cider with a straightforward start and hints of ripe apples. A complex body, both acidic and bitter, which coats the mouth and releases floral notes. A strong finish with bitter tertiary flavours.
After selecting the apples, the must is transferred into select wooden casks or ‘kupelas’. The cider is bottled following alcoholic fermentation and subsequent malolactic fermentation. We make our ByHur sparkling cider using the traditional champenoise method. Uncorked and labelled after ageing for 24 month in the “Cava Tolare” cellar.
