Faustino VII Tinto Rioja
Faustino VII is Spain's best-selling Rioja — a classic that has shown for decades that quality and accessibility are not mutually exclusive.
Winery: The Faustino family has been cultivating vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, the cooler, higher-altitude part of the appellation near the Cantabrian Mountains, since 1861. The VII — the Roman numeral for the estate's seventh product line — is a Tempranillo with brief aging in oak barrels, intended for early consumption.
In the glass: Deep ruby red. On the nose, blackberry and ripe plum, along with a distinct hint of leather and tobacco—the typical character of mature Tempranillo. On the palate, the spicy, toasty notes emerge, which Faustino achieves through the targeted use of American oak. Medium-bodied, soft tannins, dry finish with a light vanilla note.
Recommendation: Best served at 16–18 °C . Pairs well with lamb chops with rosemary, chorizo, grilled chicken, or a robust Manchego cheese. Also a great, uncomplicated accompaniment to Spanish tapas. Drink now—not for aging.

Quick answers
How does the Faustino VII Tinto taste?
Dry, medium-bodied, with soft tannins. On the nose, blackberry and ripe plum, plus leather and tobacco. On the palate, spicy roasted aromas and a fine vanilla note come through — both come from aging in American oak.
What does the Faustino VII pair best with?
Classically with lamb chops with rosemary, chorizo, or grilled chicken. It also makes a great companion for a strong Manchego or a Spanish tapas round — uncomplicated and versatile.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Ideally at 16–18 °C — so slightly cooler than room temperature. For this, it is sufficient to take the bottle out of a cool room about 20–30 minutes before opening.
Is this a wine for storing or should I drink it soon?
The Faustino VII is designed for early enjoyment: short wood barrel aging, soft tannins, no potential for long cellar storage. Once opened, it will keep well for another two to three days with a wine stopper.
How much alcohol does the Faustino VII have?
It has 13.0% vol. — a solid, not too heavy value for a Rioja, which fits well with the accessible character of the wine. Filling quantity is the classic 0.75 l bottle.
The Bodega
Bodegas Faustino is one of the great names of the Rioja – founded in 1861 in Oyón, managed today in the fourth generation, and long since a global brand. The winery stands for patience and continuity: wines only come onto the market when they have reached their perfect maturity.
On around 650 hectares in the Rioja Alavesa, on calcareous soil and in the cool Atlantic climate, Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo, and Viura grow. The Faustino I Gran Reserva is considered the best-selling Gran Reserva in the world – and its unmistakable label with Rembrandt's portrait of the merchant Nicolaes van Bambeeck has become a symbol for Rioja's excellence.
