✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Faustino, located in the historic town of Oyón within Rioja Alavesa, has been a pillar of Spanish winemaking since its founding in 1861. The Faustino V Reserva is a quintessential representation of classic Rioja, instantly recognizable by its distinctive frosted bottle adorned with a Rembrandt portrait. This red blend is dominated by Tempranillo, complemented by a touch of Mazuelo, sourced from vineyards planted in clay-limestone soils. Following traditional Rioja Reserva regulations, the wine undergoes meticulous aging, spending around 18 months in American oak casks followed by significant bottle aging. This process tames the vibrant fruit, weaving in complex notes of vanilla, sweet spice, and leather while maintaining a bright, elegant acidity that reflects the cooler microclimate of Rioja Alavesa.
🍾 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.
