✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Faustino, established in 1861 in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, is globally recognized not only for its exceptional wines but also for the iconic Rembrandt portrait of Nicolaes van Bambeeck that adorns its bottles. The Icon Edition Reserva Especial represents a modern pinnacle of this historic estate's craftsmanship. Sourced from low-yielding, old-vine parcels of Tempranillo, complemented by a small touch of Graciano, and planted in the region's signature clay-limestone soils, this wine benefits from a unique microclimate shielded by the Sierra de Cantabria. Unlike the traditional long American oak aging of classic Riojas, the Icon Edition is aged predominantly in French oak barrels for approximately 18 months, resulting in a sophisticated marriage of intense dark fruit, refined spices, and structured, velvety tannins that bridges Rioja's rich heritage with contemporary elegance.
🍾 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.
