700 mL bottle of Zapiain Gorenak Sidra Basque Cider

Zapiain's Sagardoa Gorenak is a traditional Spanish cider from Basque Country in Northern Spain. Simply put, this is one of the finest ciders from Spain to make it's way to the U.S. It's also one of the few Spanish ciders that are imported regularly each year - ensuring a level of peak freshness that can be so fleeting for this style if cider. Thank you to our friends at Anxo Imports for helping us get our hands on this delightful cider.

Please note: The latest release is newly available as of January 2025. Super fresh! This product will begin shipping by mid-January and any orders containing bottles of Zapiain will be held to ship until then. Updated bottle photo coming soon (new label, same Gorenak seal).

This specific release from Zapiain carries the Gorenak seal (note the black seal atop the bottle with gold lettering). In the native language of the Basque region, "Gorenak" translates as "the best" or "select/premium". It's a symbol of the highest quality of Basque Cider, and can only be used on specific vintages of a cider after it has undergone an analyzation and sensory analysis conducted by the Fraisoro Agro-environmental Laboratory - the only laboratory accredited at the national level in Spain specifically for reviewing the quality of cider.

Made with a blend of Spanish apples grown on their estate, plus others thoughtfully sourced from nearby farms. Apple varieties include: Moko, Gezamina, Urtebi Haundi, Urtebi Txiki, Patzolua, Urdin Sagarra, and Manttoni. Made true to the traditions of Basque Country, with a modern touch to ensure quality. The cider is fermented naturally with native yeast, in stainless steel tanks that allow for some temperature control. After fermentation, the cider is aged in large chestnut wood barrels (kupelas) until it's ready to be bottled. Nothing added, nothing removed, including no added sulfites. Bottled still (uncarbonated).

This natural cider is dry with notes of fresh green apple with a pleasant, bright acidity. Pairs well with many foods, especially cheeses, cured meats, or anything grilled.

Serving: Sagardoa may contain sediment, since it is a product that has not been filtered or clarified. Before serving it, it is convenient to homogenize the liquid, holding the bottle in an inverted position and shaking or swirling it to dissolve the sediment and awaken the natural carbon content it contains. Pour in small quantities from a modest height to splash a few gulps at a time in your glass.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.

Orders can be picked up for free at Makeda & Mingus, a coffee shop and community space in the Greenwood neighborhood. They are open everyday from 7AM-5PM. Orders are made available for pickup within 1-3 days.
