Founded in 1861, Bodegas Faustino is one of Rioja’s most historic estates and a defining force in the global recognition of classic Rioja. The winery is known for long cellar aging and a house style rooted in traditional Tempranillo-based blends with Graciano and Mazuelo.

This Gran Reserva comes from one of Rioja’s standout modern vintages. The wine benefited from ideal balance between ripeness and acidity, allowing it to age gracefully for decades. Faustino’s long oak and bottle maturation have transformed the fruit into layered tertiary complexity — dried cherry, leather, tobacco, warm spice and cedar — while maintaining structure and poise.

At full maturity, this bottle captures the archetype of classic Gran Reserva Rioja: polished, savory and deeply resolved.
