The Antxiola (anh-cho-la) estate named for a fort near the town of Orio, sits a mere stone's throw away from the Bay of Biscay, 90 meters above sea level. This proximity allows for cool breezes off the ocean to temper the vineyard, resulting in crisp, citrus driven wines supported by berry, fresh cut herb and sea spray aromas that continue onto the palate. With a slight effervescence, this wine awakens the senses and invigorates your taste buds with its mouthwatering freshness. A perfect companion for oysters on the half-shell, grilled shrimp, cured meats or strong cheeses. (from the vintner)
