Despite the bright coastal air of the Basque Country, this 2023 Astobiza Pil Pil offers a surprising minerality that grounds its zesty character. Forget expectations of overt fruit; instead, find a compelling salinity that whispers of the ocean, a refreshing counterpoint to the crisp apple and subtle herbal notes.
