{"title":"Bodegas Ostatu","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Saenz de Samaniego family has been growing grapes and making wine in Rioja for centuries, so long that the village in which their winery is located shares the family’s. They are Basque to the core — the winery’s name, Ostatu, translates to ‘accommodation’ or ‘guesthouse’, a reference to the c. 18th century building’s first use, and their wines offer all the elegance, limestone minerality, and delicacy hallmark to Rioja’s Alavesa subregion. Farming is certified organic by ENEEK, the Regulatory Council of Organic Agriculture in the Basque Country.\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cbr\u003eAlavesa is Rioja’s smallest, northernmost, and most prestigious subregion, hemmed in by the Sierra de Cantabria and Sierra de Toloño mountains to the north and the Ebro river to the south. Vineyards are planted at fairly high elevation in the mountains’ foothills, between 500 and 630 meters above sea level. The soils are rich in limestone and clay, a combination which helps to provide ample acidity, linear structure, and plenty of salinity, especially to white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodegas-ostatu-rioja-blanco-2025-750ml","title":"Bodegas Ostatu, Rioja Blanco, 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is white Rioja for everyday pleasure, all freshness and lift. Ostatu, a family estate in Samaniego with organic, carbon-neutral farming, blends Viura and Malvasia from vines between 30 and 80 years old into a bright, aromatic white meant to be poured young and often. Expect flowers, citrus, and orchard fruit rather than oak. It is the easygoing entry point to a producer helping push Rioja toward fresher, more terroir-driven whites, and it drinks beautifully as an aperitif or alongside a simple weeknight dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Maison East [DME]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46116704583737,"sku":"NYC-4-DME-`OS-B25`-062526-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bodegas-Ostatu-Rioja-Blanco-2025-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1782572023"},{"product_id":"bodegas-ostatu-gran-reserva-blanco-2019-750ml","title":"Bodegas Ostatu, Gran Reserva Blanco, 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eRioja rarely gets to show off this side of itself: a serious, age-worthy white that Ostatu bottles only in vintages good enough to justify it. Made from Viura and Malvasia grown at altitude on chalky limestone in Samaniego, in the Rioja Alavesa, it sees no malolactic fermentation and long aging in used French oak, which builds texture and depth without heaviness. This is the kind of white that rewards a decant and a proper glass, and it belongs to a wave of Rioja producers pushing terroir over formula. If you think of Rioja as a red-wine region, this is a delicious argument to the contrary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Maison East [DME]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46116704976953,"sku":"NYC-4-DME-`OS-GRB19`-062526-3","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bodegas-Ostatu-Gran-Reserva-Blanco-2019-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1782572025"},{"product_id":"bodegas-ostatu-valdepedro-2023-750ml","title":"Bodegas Ostatu, Valdepedro, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eValdepedro is Ostatu's single-vineyard exploration of what Tempranillo can do with a light touch and no makeup. The fruit comes from a high parcel above Samaniego, at around 630 meters on limestone soils, surrounded by holm oaks, thyme, and lavender, and the wine is made with no added sulfites. The result is a bright, fresh, almost translucent red that leads with red fruit and floral aromatics rather than weight or oak. It is Rioja as vineyard portrait rather than blend, and a lovely showcase of the estate's more experimental, terroir-first direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Maison East [DME]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46116707565625,"sku":"NYC-4-DME-`OS-VAL23`-062526-4","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bodegas-Ostatu-Valdepedro-2023-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1782572026"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/bodegas-ostatu.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
