Faustino I - Gran Reserva Blanco 2020

Faustino I Blanco Gran Reserva is produced by the historic winery Bodegas Faustino, located in Rioja Alavesa (Spain), a family-owned estate with long heritage in Rioja winemaking. 

This cuvée marks a bold move in the classic repertoire — a white “Gran Reserva,” only produced in years of exceptional grape quality. It aims to bring the same level of excellence the house is known for in red wines to their white wines, combining tradition and high-level barrel ageing.

Appearance: pale lemon‑gold, bright and clear. 

Nose: aromas of stone fruit (peach, apricot), floral and tropical hints (mango, pineapple), intertwined with elegant oak‑derived notes (toast, wood). 

Palate: fresh entry, vibrant acidity, silky texture, generous layers of yellow and tropical fruits, rounded by soft vanilla and wood nuances. Elegant and balanced. 

Finish & Balance: long, refined finish — fruit and oak in harmony, well-integrated acidity and structure. 

Food Pairing: goes particularly well with fish, seafood, white meats, poultry in light sauces, rice dishes, paella — generally fresh or delicately flavored dishes. 

Serving temperature: around 10–12 °C.
