Faustino VII Garnacha (2024)

Bodegas Faustino, one of the ‘First Families of Rioja’, was founded in 1861 by the Martinez family and is actively managed today by the 6th generation Martinez daughters. Faustino received its recognition from the first export of Faustino Reserva wines in the 1960s. Today, the iconic bottle featuring Rembrandt's art has become the symbol of the excellence of Rioja wines, and Faustino wines are now enjoyed in more than 140 countries.

Notes of very ripe red fruits (strawberry) and black fruits (black plum). In the background there is a hint of violet. On the mouth, young and cheerful. Young, fresh. Very fruity, again reminiscent of ripe red and black fruit. Balanced. Pleasant sensation in the mouth. Long, markedly fruity aftertaste. It matches very well with ham tapas, spanish potato omelette.
