Bodegas Ostatu Rioja Gran Reserva 2015 750 ML

Introduction

This wine is a single-vineyard Gran Reserva from one of Ostatus oldest vineyards, El Rincon, planted in 1945. It is located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, near the village of Samaniego, on a small south-facing slope, at an altitude of 600m. Planted to traditional, goblet-trained Tempranillo and Graciano vines, El Rincon has poor clay soils with a limestone-rich subsoil, which is responsible for the incredible structure and longevity of their Gran Reserva. The village of Samaniego is famous for producing tempranillo which makes up the backbone of many of the most epic Rioja reds capable of improving in bottle for decades.Ostatus Gran Reserva is made only in the best vintages in small quantities, and each release represents the finest red wine Rioja Alavesa has to offer, built to improve in bottle for decades.
