BODEGAS OSTATU 2020 Tempranillo Crianza (Rioja, Spain)

OSTATU comes from a quality driven set of silbings, who farm each parcel of land they have certified organic - which is a feat.  All of the grapes for their Crianza come from exceptional, high-altitude, goblet-trained vineyards of organically-farmed tempranillo, garnacha, graciano, and mazuelo grapes coming from their mountain village of Samaniego at 580m.

Samaniego is one of the most important villages in Rioja, providing fruit of the highest quality and structure, ideal for producing long-lived red and white wine. Ostatu Crianza is a fruit-driven and lively Crianza with a singular personality derived from the addition of 20-30% carbonic maceration wine in the blend, which is traditional to Rioja Alavesa.
