A refreshing and fruity cider con txinparta — “with natural pétillance” — that refreshes the palate and invites another sip. Cider has been produced at the Mendiola farmhouse in Astigarraga by members of the same family for close to five centuries. The oldest surviving document that references the production of cider at this address dates back to May 20th, 1563. The history of this family is so entwined with the history of Basque cider production that the two main apple varieties they use to elaborate their ciders are the Astarbe variety (after the family surname) and the Mendiola variety (after the name of the farmhouse).
