750 mL bottle of Astarbe Byhur24 Sagardoa Espumosa - Sparkling Hard Cider Astigarraga - Basque cider

Astarbe Sagardotegia is one of the oldest, continuously operating cider houses in Spain's Basque Country. The Astarbe family has been producing cider for almost 500 years, and Byhur 24 is a crowd favorite sparkling Basque cider (Espumonsa translates to Sparkling in Basque; Sagardoa is Basque for Cider).

About Astarbe Sagardotegia: Originally founded in 1563, Astarbe has since been run by the same family for 15 generations over five centuries. The Astarbe family has been dedicated to making cider and growing apple trees in the Spanish province of Gipuzkoa - nestled between the Santiagomendi, Txoritokieta mountains and the Adarra peak, where the Astarbe’s ancestors strategically built their original farmhouse at the foot of the Camino Real, where commerce and traffic between Madrid and Paris was brisk. The history of this family is so entwined with the history of Basque cider production that the two main apple varieties they use in their ciders are the Astarbe variety (after the family surname) and the Mendiola variety (after the name of their farmhouse). These cider apple varietals are 2 of the 115 varieties that the Euskal Sagardoa D.O. – Basque Cider admits.

About Byhur 24: Byhur 24 is made using méthode traditionnelle, and is aged for 24 months before it's release. The result is a dry and complex cider. It has flavor notes common to many Spanish ciders including notes of ripe, green apple and pleasant acidity levels. Stronger tannins than most Spanish cider, courtesy of some bitter apple varieties and prolonged aging in chestnut barrels (called Kupelas). A rush of apple flavor notes carry the experience across the palate including apple leather, apple skin, and tart green apple. A complex array of flavors play a supporting role, including lemon peel, twig-like woody tannins, minerality, and salinity.

Price

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.
