Isastegi Sagardoa Basque Cider 750ml

Pouring a hazy, golden straw colour, the Isastegi Sagardoa Natural Cider delivers a profoundly authentic and rustic expression of traditional Basque cider. Crafted from indigenous apple varieties, this vibrant, unpasteurized cider opens with complex, earthy aromas of tart green apple skin, wild orchard floor, and subtle notes of mandarin zest and funk. The palate is bone-dry and refreshingly sour, driven by a sharp, lively acidity and a natural, prickly effervescence that invigorates the senses. It finishes crisp and wonderfully austere, making it an exceptional palate cleanser with a distinct sense of place.Pair this sharp, natural cider with classic Basque pintxos and savoury, fatty dishes that can balance its striking acidity. Excellent accompaniments include traditional salt cod omelettes, thinly sliced Jamón Ibérico, or grilled chorizo. It also pairs beautifully with rich, slow-roasted pork belly or a board of sharp, aged sheep's milk cheeses like Idiazabal.
