The family has been cultivating grapes and making wine for over four decades, focusing on native varietals. Antxiola is distinguished by its bright, crisp profile and a characteristic saline quality, often noted for its subtle natural effervescence.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Antxiola is produced using grapes from vines that are 10-40 years old, situated on clay-based hills near the Bay of Biscay. The vineyard practices are organic and entirely hand-farmed, with vines planted on slopes chosen for optimal sun exposure and wind. The grapes are hand-harvested. Vinification involves fermentation with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled young to retain its natural effervescence. Minimal sulfur is added, with less than 10 mg/l. The wine is aged in stainless steel.
