Bodegas Faustino
Across chalky clay soils and Atlantic-cooled nights, Rioja finds a patient voice at Bodegas Faustino in Rioja: Tempranillo, lifted with touches of Graciano or Mazuelo, is shaped for the long arc of Gran Reserva.
With more than 160 years of family know-how and roughly 650 hectares around Oyón and Laguardia, the estate works with scale yet thinks in parcels. A balanced microclimate helps deliver ripe skins and bright acidity; long cellar ageing turns structure into satin. Faustino’s classic bottles have travelled the world since the export push of the 1960s.
Ready for pleasure? Expect blackberry and cassis, cedar, tobacco and a gentle vanilla glide. Give it air, and the savoury notes widen. It’s a natural partner for lamb, mushrooms or aged Manchego—and a smart pick when you want Rioja to feel composed, not loud.Bodegas Faustino
