Northern Spain's Asturias and Basque Country are known for their unique style of cider and wine, with both deeply ingrained in the culture of food and local traditions. Sharp notes, from slightly to boldly sour acetic qualities are indicative of the region's cider traditions.
You'll learn about the tradition of TXOTX--the region's season of celebration for the year's new sidras aged in large wooden casks--and how the "long pour" affects the immediate consumption of the non-carbonated cider, all while tasting through representative samples of the style.
Taught by Matthew Ostrander, the owner and Chief Cider Curator at Ibantik Craft Beverages, Utah's premier hard cider focused supplier and importer of fine craft ciders from around the globe. As Utah's first and only Certified Pommelier (American Cider Association), he has been leading educational efforts to expand knowledge of this category of craft cider (apple based wine) with a passion for the history, culture and production techniques found around the world.
