Producer Information: Bodegas Faustino
Bodegas Faustino, rooted in the heart of Rioja Alavesa in Oyón, Spain, traces its origins to 1861 when Eleuterio Martínez Arzok acquired the estate that would become synonymous with traditional Rioja winemaking. The family’s philosophy centers on meticulous vineyard management and extended barrel aging, resulting in wines that express both the unique calcareous soils of their region and a commitment to classic techniques. Beyond their flagship Gran Reserva reds crafted primarily from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes, Faustino also produces elegant white wines from Viura and Chardonnay as well as Cava sparkling wines under the Faustino Art Collection label. Their portfolio reflects a deep connection to Rioja’s terroir while embracing innovation through sustainable viticulture practices.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
