Faustino 1 Gran Reserva (2016) – Faustino I Gran Reserva is a classic Rioja red built from Tempranillo with support from Graciano and Mazuelo, aged extensively in oak and bottle before release. Sourced from Rioja Alavesa vineyards, the 2016 vintage shows dried cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and warm spice. Bodegas Faustino has long been one of Rioja’s benchmark traditional houses, known for patient aging and consistency. Silky tannins and mature structure make this an easy choice for roast lamb, grilled steak, or collectors seeking ready-to-drink Rioja Gran Reserva.
