Faustino V Reserva Rioja

Faustino V Reserva Rioja is a classic red wine from Spain's Rioja Alavesa region, crafted primarily from Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes. This Reserva is distinguished by an extensive aging process, spending 18 to 24 months in American oak barrels—double the regional minimum—followed by significant bottle rest to ensure a smooth, integrated character. It presents a deep cherry to garnet hue and offers a complex aromatic profile of ripe dark plums, blackberries, and Luxardo cherries, layered with notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices like clove and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied with silky tannins and balanced acidity, making it an excellent companion for grilled lamb, red meats, cured cheeses, and Mediterranean dishes. Highly decorated by critics, it consistently earns top scores and medals for its elegance and reliable quality.
