✨ Technical Specifications
Bodegas Faustino, located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa in Oyon, has been a cornerstone of Spanish winemaking since its founding in 1861. The Faustino V Rosado is instantly recognizable by its signature frosted bottle, featuring a classic Rembrandt portrait that reflects the estate's respect for timeless artistry. This vibrant rose is typically crafted from Tempranillo, sometimes blended with a touch of Viura, sourced from vineyards planted in clay-limestone soils. The grapes undergo a brief maceration to extract its brilliant pale pink hue and delicate aromas of fresh red currants, wild strawberries, and white flowers. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its youthful energy, this wine beautifully represents the classic, refreshing style of Rioja rosado, balancing bright Atlantic-influenced acidity with a smooth, fruit-forward finish.
