Tasting Notes

Highly aromatic and complex, this wine opens with layers of spice, hardwood, roasted elements, and balsamic notes, evolving into hints of leather and vanilla. On the palate, it’s powerful and fleshy, yet elegant and balanced, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that give structure and length. A wine that’s both enveloping and refined, offering depth and character in equal measure.

Product Highlights

Like a treasured heirloom from years gone by, Faustino I Gran Reserva carries an immediate sense of familiarity and comfort. The distinctive bottle shape and colour, the unmistakably Spanish label, and the graceful aromas of cherry, leather, cinnamon, and dried terracotta have helped make this wine a global powerhouse.

From Rioja Alavesa, this Tempranillo-based blend is aged for 28 months in American oak, followed by a minimum of 3 years in bottle. Rarely is it released before its 10th birthday.

It’s a time capsule – an experience unlike any other. Like red wine made before the age of electricity and mechanisation, bottled only when vintage conditions align. Delightfully old-school, it’s full of fruit and spice, with a warm glow of toasted oak, mushroom, chambord, violets, and toffee. A true wonder of the wine world, that will undoubtedly spark conversation and the thoughts of travel to worlds beyond for those you share a glass with.
