Isastegi Sagardo Naturala is a traditional Basque cider from the verdant mountains of Spain's Basque Country, representing a winemaking tradition that has existed for over 400 years. Produced at the Isastegi farm since the 17th century, cider has been an integral part of Basque culture—an everyday drink that exemplifies the region's commitment to terroir and natural winemaking. The cider is made exclusively from organically-grown, native Basque apples farmed within a 15-kilometer radius of the Isastegi cider house in Tolosa, in the countryside outside San Sebastián. Each lot is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. After fermentation, each component is tasted for quality before the lots are blended together in kupelas (old, large oak cider barrels) for several months. As a founding member of the Gorenak Society and Euskal Sagardoa (a new PDO for Basque natural cider created in 2017), Isastegi represents the quality standards and authentication of authentic Basque natural cider. Traditionally served cold, poured from arm's length into a wide-mouth tumbler—a ritual that creates its signature creamy, effervescent mousse.

More about Isastegi

In the Basque region of Spain, Isastegi has been making cider—sidra natural—since at least the 17th century, though the current push to quality began in the 1980s when Migel Mari Lasa and his father switched from livestock to fermentation. They work only with local apples grown within 15 kilometers, no added sugars or carbonation, just old-school fermentation in a cider house that tastes like history.
