2024 Ostatu Valdepedro Tempranillo

Tempranillo grapes come from the Valdepedro plot in the municipality of Samaniego planted in 2000, at the foot of the imposing Sierra de Cantabria-Toloño, at an altitude of 630m. Valdepedro has mainly limestone soil with some clay holding it together. Lying directly in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria mountains, the vineyards of Samaniego have a Mediterranean climate with a strong Atlantic influence. Not only has the Valdepedro vineyard been farmed organically without synthetic inputs since the 2010 vintage, but they have also encouraged the regeneration of the soil and environment through the integration of native fauna. The vineyard is surrounded by a grove of holm oaks, oaks, junipers, thyme, lavender, old olive, and almond trees. Ostatu is pure Cantabrian mountain viticulture at its finest, as many have made comparisons with the best wines of Italy’s Alto Piemonte and Valtellina regions. We don’t disagree.
