Additional Information:

This matured Gran Reserva from Faustino is now perfectly ready to drink, but can last for years. It is made from 86% tempranillo with 9% graciano and 5% mazuelo. The wine first ages 26 months in American oak and then 3 years in the cellars of the bodega. Only then will this wine come onto the market and it may bear the name Faustino I. The wine is complex with vanilla, blueberries, tobacco, spices and the scent of cigar boxes. Pour it with Jamón Ibérico, braised pork, game or grilled red meat.
