Ostatu Rioja Rosado

Bodegas Ostatu is easily one of the best houses operating in Rioja Alavesa. This rosé isn't just some passable pink to get you through the summer, this is a real wine of character. Mostly Tempranillo and Garnacha, there's also a splash of the white grape Viura in here; the combination of all three pointing to a true, albeit light, expression of this corner of the country. Brimming with red fruit and citrus peel, this dry rosé is great all year, but especially on a sweltering summer afternoon down by the water.
