Astobiza - Dry Gin

Gin description

It is based on 3 differential elements: botanicals from our own vineyard, exclusive to the Astobiza estate; wild juniper berries from our valley, the Ayala Valley; and citrus from lunar lemon trees and 4-season lemon trees from the northern coast of Spain. We add strawberries and txakoli. The strawberries, super aromatic, of the Charlotte variety, grown and picked by hand in June, the season of greatest expression. The txakoli, ours, from the Ayala Valley, from a singular estate, single variety Ondarrabi Zuri. In addition, the exclusivity of this Gin is marked by the expression of an innovative botanical added before the last distillation: “Aroma or Essence of Harvest”, a recent botanical that we capture from the fermenting must tanks during the harvest. Distilled at very cold temperatures, the carbon dioxide released by the must, at around -60°C, results in a broth that concentrates the aromatic essence that we identify in the grape harvests.
