✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Faustino, established in 1861 in Oyón, Álava, is a benchmark producer of Rioja red wines. The Faustino V Reserva is crafted primarily from Tempranillo blended with Mazuelo (Carignan), sourced from estate vineyards in Rioja Alavesa. In accordance with Rioja DOCa regulations for Reserva status, the wine undergoes traditional oak maturation—typically spending 16 months in American oak casks followed by significant bottle aging prior to release. This oak-forward regime imparts signature aromatic notes of coconut, vanilla, and sweet spices over a core of dried cherry and plum.
