75cl bottle from Etxe Peio, St Jean de Luz. Pours a clear gold, moderate fine effervescence. Easy-going middle-of-the-road medium, quite apply with some dessert fruit character, not sharp basque style.. some syrupy sweet action, fine easy-sipper on the beach.

Bottle at the Sideria Iretza in Astigarraga, after being shown their magnificent wooden barrel vat cellar.
Hazy golden with a glow. Medium-dry with a hint of sweetness. Fair apple that leaves a tangy aftertaste.
