DESCRIPTION
Ostatu Crianza is an outstanding value and introduction to the terruño-driven wines of village-designated Rioja Alavesa. All of the grapes for their Crianza come from exceptional, high-altitude 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 wines. 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.
