Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
Rioja Gran Reserva made in the old style — Tempranillo given long ageing in American oak and further years in bottle, released only from vintages the house judges worthy. Faustino's Gran Reservas are among the most widely known examples of the traditional register, where the wine arrives already mature rather than asking to be cellared. Dried cherry and strawberry over leather, tobacco, sweet vanilla and dill, medium-bodied with soft, fully resolved tannin and a savoury, earthy length.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
