Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja 75cl
The world's most famous Rioja Gran Reserva. Produced by Bodegas Faustino, winemakers for over 150 years and proud leaders in high quality DOCa Rioja wines. The bodega is family owned, now in its 4th generation, with the philosophy that tending to the land with love and respect, results in the best wines. This award winning Gran Reserva Rioja is only produced using harvests of exceptional quality. The wine is aged in the barrel for at least 26 months and refined in the bottle for 8 years. This vintage was awarded BEST SPANISH RED WINE by Decanter magazine, and consistently wins gold medals year on year at major wine competitions worldwide. This wine can be drunk now but will further improve if carefully stored for up to 10 years
Wine of Spain
Bodegas Faustino owns about 650 hectares of vineyards in the best areas of the DOCa Rioja, in the municipalities of Laguardia and Oyon, and it is one of the largest owners of vineyards in Rioja. The land of Rioja Alavesa offers exceptional qualities, a chalky-clay soil and an optimum microclimate. Love and respect for nature are two of the pillars on which the philosophy of the winery is based.
Located between the Ebro River and the imposing rocky mass of the Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Alavesa is smallest sub-region with the highest elevation in the Denomination of Origin Rioja. The Sierra Cantabria protects the area from the cold and humid Northern winds, and the vineyards descend in terraces and ravines that shape this unique microclimate. For centuries the Basque region has been dedicated to vine growing, and the area is known for their use of Spain's native grape Tempranillo.
Fermentation temperature 28 ºc. 26 months in French and American oak barrels. A minimum of 3 years ageing in the bottle. In recent years, we have incorporated new, environmentally-friendly grape growing practices to make our vineyards increasingly sustainable. Among others, we employ precision viticulture to monitor canopy development in different areas within the same plot.

Tasting Notes
Deep cherry-red and maroon tones. The nose is intense and complex with sweet notes of vanilla, spice and ripe fruit which follows through to the palate. Well structured and elegant with good acidity, leading to a warming, sweet, ripe fruity finish.
