At Bodegas Ostatu, we’re always looking for innovative ways to share the magic of our wines—and what better way to do it than by collaborating with exceptional chefs like Gorka Arrieta of Sua Basque Fusion?
That’s why we created Pintxos&Ostatu together—an extra special event that will be celebrating its third edition on May 18th.
To whet your appetite, Gorka has crafted three irresistible recipes that pair perfectly with our wines.
Celeriac Toffee Tartlet with Truffle and Irish Seaweed Cheddar
The umami flavor and smooth texture of the celeriac toffee, combined with the intensity of truffle and Irish seaweed cheddar, make this pintxo a true delight. Pickled celeriac adds an acidic and refreshing counterpoint to balance the sweet and savory notes.
This pintxo pairs beautifully with Menditto by Ostatu, a full-bodied, elegant wine that complements the deep, complex flavors of the dish.
Bonito (tuna) ceviche
A fresh, vibrant recipe: bonito ceviche seasoned with a citrus-forward leche de tigre featuring ginger and soy, while a coriander oil adds an aromatic, refreshing touch.
This dish is ideal with Lore by Ostatu, a wine whose balance of freshness and subtle oak notes highlights the citrusy, herbal character of the ceviche, creating perfect harmony between the food and the wine.
Alternatively, for a bolder pairing, try it with Ostatu Crianza, whose structure and complexity can stand up to the intense, refreshing flavors of the ceviche without overpowering the dish. Its red fruit notes and hint of oak create an elegant balance with the bonito and citrus notes.
Izar
This pintxo showcases Gorka Arrieta’s creativity and flair for innovation in Basque cuisine. It brings together crispy wonton pastry, anchovy tartare, olive gel, anchovy meringue, and dehydrated olives, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite.
We suggest pairing it with Zabala by Ostatu, a white wine perfect for balancing the intense, salty flavors of the anchovies and other ingredients.
