Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja 75th Anniversary 2009

• Region: Rioja
• Sub-Region: Rioja Alavesa
• Varieties: Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo

Vineyard Sourced from select vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, where calcareous clay soils and a long ripening season help produce fruit with depth, structure, and aging potential. Extended maturation in oak and bottle has given this anniversary release additional complexity and poise.

Wine A mature and elegant Gran Reserva with aromas of dried cherry, cedar, tobacco, leather, and sweet spice. The palate is silky and layered, with resolved tannins, savory depth, and a long, graceful finish.
