Our philosophy
At Ostatu, sustainability is the thread that guides our way of understanding wine.
At Bodegas Ostatu, sustainability is at the heart of our identity and the driving force behind every decision we make, from the vineyard to the bottle. Our philosophy is based on a simple yet powerful principle: taking care of the land means taking care of our future and that of generations to come.
For years, we have embraced a regenerative agriculture model in our vineyards in Samaniego, Rioja Alavesa. This approach not only enhances soil quality and environmental health but also elevates the excellence of our wines.
With our "Viñadiversidad" project, launched in 2021, we aim to create a natural balance where biodiversity and organic matter take center stage. In this way, our vineyards function as true agricultural ecosystems, promoting pollination, natural pest control, and soil conservation, which in turn act as carbon sinks.
This commitment to respectful and regenerative viticulture runs deep. Our father took the first steps in the 1980s by eliminating chemical fertilizers and recovering native grape varieties that were at risk of disappearing. Over the past 20 years, with the new generation joining the winery, we have intensified these practices, bringing our vision of sustainability to every aspect of our work.
