2022 Bodegas Ostatu Rioja Crianza

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. Samaniego is located directly at the convergence of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean climatic influences, which mold the character of the vintages. The combination of the village’s stony clay calcareous soils, limestone soils, and cool climate also lends a certain austerity and structure to Ostatu wines, which differentiates them from the Rioja wines of other subzones to the south.
