Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa 2012DESCRIPTION Spice and dark, stewed fruit aromas, with vanilla, pastry and jam notes. Long, structured finish.

Suggested pairings include T bone steak and grilled meats in general. WINE TYPE Tempranillo, Graciano, & Manzuelo COUNTRY Spain REGION Rioja VINTAGE 2012

Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration

as it’s a blend of mixed field blend reds and provides incredible drinkability with brightness and ample structure

lemon curd and mineral flavors that linger in the finish

the 2022 possesses striking energy

complex with flavours that linger

Very quickly the taste buds are awakened by a ferociously tense structure based on a punchy acidity

cassis and blackberry are balanced perfectly with the smooth ripe velvety tannins

and at the same time powerful

Pale golden in colour

Very little new oak is used here – no more than a third and usually in the zero to 15% range – and the wines tend to be relatively low in alcohol as well

Easy and bright

white pepper and crumbled stones
