Astobiza Txakoli is a crisp, refreshing Spanish white wine from the Basque Country (País Vasco) in northern Spain. It’s made predominantly from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri (Ondarrabi Zuri) grape, with a small portion of Ondarrabi Zuri Zerratie, and comes from the D.O. Arabako Txakolina appellation in Álava, a region renowned for its distinctly vibrant and mineral‑driven txakoli wines.
