Faustino V Reserve
The Faustino V Reserva shows what Rioja has stood for for decades: structured fruit, oak used in moderation and a finish that doesn't let go immediately.
The Faustino winery is one of the most renowned estates in Rioja Alta. Family-owned since the 1860s, it has significantly shaped the region's Reserva style – long aging in oak barrels, followed by further bottle aging before release. For the Faustino V, this amounts to a total of 18 months in oak barrels.
In the glass, this Tempranillo Reserva reveals aromas of preserved cherry and ripe blackberries, underpinned by subtle toasty notes and a hint of vanilla from the oak. The lively acidity supports the fruit and prevents the wine from feeling heavy. Tannins are present but well-integrated – a result of controlled barrel aging.
Serving suggestion: Best served at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with leg of lamb with rosemary, grilled Ibérico pork, or a mature Manchego cheese. Drink now until 2028.
