At El Gaitero Group, since our foundation in 1890, we have traveled the world with our cider and Asturias.
In 2021 our new project, SPRING CIDER, the fresh and light cider endorsed by cider experts, sees the light of day. Thanks to its low alcohol content, it is a perfect alternative to enjoy an aperitif or during an afterwork, ideal for the "afternoon".
In 3 versions,
- Spring Cider Manzana (apple) is delicate, irresistible and very fresh, and is represented by the arrow, because it has a flavor as extraordinary as the aim of William Tell.
- Spring Cider Manzana+Uva (apple+grape) has a combination as tempting as Adam and Eve's apple, that's why it carries a snake.
-Spring Cider Manzana Sin Alcohol(apple without alcohol) supposes a sensation as inspiring as Newton's apple, which is reflected with the planets, an allegory to the Formula of Gravity of it.
SPRING CIDER already has 2 gold medals from the “WORLD CIDER AWARDS” in Frankfurt.
Although cider is the company's first product, other apple derivatives such as sweets and juices have always been part of our range. As far as food is concerned, we have a line of prepared dishes among which our FABADA GOURMET stands out (with Asturian PGI faba and compango from our region that does not contain additives or preservatives).
In addition, we have been committed to the PDO SIDRA DE ASTURIAS since its inception and we have ciders of all the varieties it contemplates and 3 brands under it, EL GAITERO, POMARINA and VALLE, BALLINA AND FERNANDEZ.
We also adapt to different trends with products such as our GAITERO SPANISH CIDER range (100% Apple, Red Grape and SIN) for young audiences or our 1898 ice cider for the most select palates.
But not everything is apple, since 2018 we have been the sole owners of a special winery located in Rioja Oriental, Real Agrado (a project we have been part of for years). Our wines are characterized by being made exclusively with grapes from 100 hectares of our own vineyard. Let us have the “Real Grado” Classic Range (rosé, white, young red, crianza and reserva) and The Raíces Collection that holds four “parcel wines” that are named after each of them: Las Planas reserve white, Rodiles Graciano , La Lobera four varietals and Canterabuey Graciano (first wine from Viñedo Singular de Rioja).
In short, a wide and varied range of products for all palates and moments.
