Kupela Cider Houses in Bayonne

KUPELA, naturally Basque

A drink of character with incomparable qualities and pronounced aromas of fresh apples, the Kupela apple wine pays tribute to the history and gastronomy of the Basque Country. Produced here for generations, the apple wine, very different from Norman cider, is the essential drink of tapas and pintxo evenings. It also has its place on the best tables of the Basque Country.

An unchanged method

To develop his Sagardoa, Kupela appealed to Agustín Etxeberria, master cider in Astigarraga, the mecca of Basque cider. With him, they developed a clean range, infusing a new dynamic to the Basque elixir without ever betraying tradition.

The slow natural fermentation of the apple juice transforms the sugars into alcohols, the know-how of Agustín giving birth to fresh, low-alcohol drinks preserving the naturally acidic aromas of the Basque apples.

A bit of history

Kupela pays tribute to the Basque sailors who loaded cider barrels, rich in vitamin C to fight against scurvy. More scurvy to fear nowadays but nutritional and taste qualities sought pintxo lovers and tapas. Its acidity, its lightness and its fruity are in perfect harmony with Basque gastronomy so much appreciated by modern epicureans.
