The Sáenz de Samaniego family has been dedicated to viticulture in Rioja Alavesa for generations, with roots dating back to the 16th century. In the 1970s, Doroteo and María Asunción founded Bodega Ostatu, driven by a vision to craft and market their own wines through hard work and deep respect for the land.

Ostatu’s philosophy is grounded in sustainability, authenticity, and a balance between tradition and innovation. Each wine reflects the character of the landscape, the unique microclimate, and the soils of Rioja Alavesa. Ostatu is more than a winery—it’s a way of understanding wine and life, with a strong ecological commitment and a continuous pursuit of quality.
