Faustino V Reserva (Rioja Alavesa): Elegant, Medium-Bodied, 24 Months American Oak & Iconic Producer


The Faustino V Reserva is an elegant, medium-bodied Spanish red wine from Bodegas Faustino, one of Rioja’s most iconic family-owned producers, founded in 1861 and sourced from vineyards in Oyón. The wine benefits from chalky soils and a cool climate, contributing to its balance and aromatic depth.


This Reserva is a classic Rioja blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo. It is aged for a minimum of 24 months in American oak and a further 12 months in the bottle, offering a refined and well-balanced expression of the region.
