✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic cellars of Bodegas Faustino, a name synonymous with Spanish winemaking excellence since 1861, this Cava Extra Seco represents a harmonious bridge between Riojan heritage and the traditional sparkling methods of Spain. While Faustino is globally recognized for its iconic Rembrandt-adorned bottles, their venture into D.O. Cava showcases their mastery of sparkling wines. Crafted using the traditional method, typically from a blend of Macabeo and Chardonnay, this wine benefits from the cooler clay-limestone soils of the region. The 'Extra Seco' style provides a delicate touch of residual sweetness that beautifully balances the crisp, vibrant acidity, offering notes of yellow apples, ripe pears, and white spring flowers, underpinned by a subtle, creamy complexity from lees aging.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodegas Faustino blev grundlagt i 1861 af Eleuterio Martínez Arzok og er en ikonisk, familieejet vingård beliggende i Oyón i hjertet af Spaniens prestigefyldte Rioja Alavesa-region. Vingården ledes i dag af fjerde generation af Martínez Zabala-familien og råder over mere end 650 hektar førsteklasses vinmarker i Rioja, hvor traditionel vindyrkning går hånd i hånd med omhyggelig fadlagring. Huset er verdenskendt for sine karakteristiske flasker i matteret glas og de historiske etiketter med Rembrandt-portrætter. De hyldes for deres klassiske og elegante vine – frem for alt flagskibet Faustino I Gran Reserva, flankeret af anmelderroste Reserva-vine, udtryksfulde Crianzaer og forfriskende Cava fremstillet efter den traditionelle metode.
