Valdepedro 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.

"The 2023 Valdepedro de Ostatu is 100% Tempranillo from Samaniego. The nose has aromas of Maraschino cherry, balsamic herbs and undergrowth, with a slightly reductive edge. Juicy, smooth and expressive on the tongue, the red fruit drives the finish. More fluid than the 2022, this vintage has a bright, energetic profile." —Joaquín Hidalgo

More about Bodegas Ostatu

The 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.
​
Alavesa 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.
