The story
Three Friends And Cider
In 2013, Peio, Xalbat and Bastien, three friends united by their love of gastronomy and cider, decided to launch into the international beverage business. Two years later, Egarri Edariak was founded, and the company created Kupela, a brand dedicated to the promotion of sagardo, the Basque cider tradition. The original decision led from a shared interest in food and cider to a beverage company with a portfolio covering ciders, beers, wines, spirits, juices and sodas.

The Producer
Egarri Edariak began with Peio, Xalbat and Bastien, three friends united by a passion for gastronomy and cider. Based in Bayonne, the company employs 17 people and works across a portfolio that includes ciders, beers, wines, spirits, liqueurs, fruit juices and sodas.
AMALUR is the named wine brand in the range. Its wines include bottles associated with Irouléguy and DO Navarra, while Egarri also operates Kupela, a brand dedicated to sagardo, the Basque word for cider. The company promotes Basque gastronomy and culture and uses mainly local Basque ingredients.
Place
Bayonne is Egarri Edariak's base in the Basque Country. The company's stated ingredient policy uses mainly local Basque products, while the named AMALUR wines carry the regional names Irouléguy and DO Navarra.
Irouléguy and DO Navarra are appellation names, so they place the wines within defined regional categories on the label. No vineyard, soil or grape sourcing detail is attached to the Bayonne address or to the named bottles.
Wines
The named AMALUR range covers red, white and rosé wines from Irouléguy and DO Navarra. AMALUR Iparra is an Irouléguy red made with equal parts Tannat and Cabernet Franc, described as round and fruity.
AMALUR Hegoa is presented as a biodynamic Merlot from DO Navarra, with small dark fruit notes and a supple texture. The two bottles place the wine range across two appellation names and two different grape profiles, with Iparra built from two varieties and Hegoa centred on Merlot.
Final Word
Egarri Edariak joins a Bayonne base and mainly local Basque ingredients with a wider beverage portfolio. Its named wine bottles move between Irouléguy and DO Navarra through AMALUR, with Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Merlot as the clearest grape markers.
