The winery produces wine with passion and is a major player in the wine world, boasting a wide range of top-quality wines.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old vineyard of Faustino I Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Faustino I Rioja is a true classic. Grapes from Faustino's oldest vines are used for this wine, resulting in full-bodied and powerful grapes. These grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed immediately. They are then aged for an impressive 26 months in French and American oak barrels. After this oak aging, the Faustino I undergoes three years of bottle aging in the cellars, resulting in a stunning result. The first Spanish wines left the winery over 150 years ago. Bodega Faustino manages the entire production process itself. All the grapes for its Reservas and Gran Reservas are grown in-house, which is highly unusual in Rioja. The entire production process, from vine to bottle, remains under one roof. The success of this approach is evident in Faustino's significant international success. The family business was soon forced to expand with more vineyards, wine barrels, and cellars. Bodega Faustino now owns over 800 hectares of vineyards and exports its wines to more than forty countries. The winery can hold approximately 50,000 oak barrels and maintains a permanent inventory of approximately nine million bottles.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe aroma and taste of the Faustino 1 Gran Reserva Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wines are typically presented in frosted, Burgundian-style bottles with a Rembrandt-style label depicting an 18th-century Spanish nobleman. The Gran Reserva bottles are also wrapped in gold wire mesh. The Faustino I Rioja has an intense, warm, and complex aroma. The palate is particularly pronounced, with spicy aromas of vanilla and oak. There's also plenty of ripe black fruit, spices like pepper and bay leaf, a touch of toffee, and coffee grounds. This is a superb wine for true connoisseurs: powerful, rich, and with a very long finish. Perfect with red meat or game.","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775750377551,"sku":"359","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/faustino-i-1-rioja_359.webp?v=1770041782"},{"product_id":"marques-de-riscal-rioja-reserva","title":"Marques de Riscal Rioja Reserva","description":"What a fantastic red wine this Rioja Reserva from Marques de Riscal is.

The winery itself dates back to 1858 and is considered the oldest bodega in Rioja, but for this wine, it deliberately chooses an origin outside the classic denominations to allow for maximum freedom in style.

Despite all his successes, Palacios embarked on a new adventure with his cousin Ricardo Perez. Their goal was to revive the wines of Bierzo. Both saw an opportunity, and in 1998 they jointly established a new winery in Corullon. Bierzo also features old, steep vineyards with abundant slate. The local grape is Mencia.\n\n\n \nThe grapes used come from plots of very old vines, between 50 and 90 years old. They are sourced from small plots in five municipalities in Bierzo. These are underperforming, resulting in high-quality fruit. The vineyards that produce Pétalos del Bierzo are primarily planted on slate floors and situated on slopes. Harvesting is done manually, with the first selection taking place in the same vineyard. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed for approximately 25 days and fermented in open wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place for two months in closed wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Pétalos del Bierzo is then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels before bottling, filtering, and clarification.

A somewhat lesser-known grape in Rioja, but so beautiful! Once again, Valdemar shows what they're capable of. A beautiful product of the winery's own research.

Selecting precisely those grapes that are qualitatively suitable for making modern Rioja is a unique skill. Maturana is one such grape. Historically, it was used for blending with the region's most important grape, Tempranillo. Valdemar has chosen to create a distinctive wine from it, and it is one with plenty of character.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October. After a rigorous selection process, they are pressed. Fermentation follows, after which the wine matures for an impressive 16 months in American oak barriques. The oak is dried for three years before being used. This gives this Balcon de Pilatos Maturana a soft and refined character, perfectly rounding out the beautiful acidity. A truly special wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy the Conde Valdemar Balcon de Pilatos Maturana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The aroma reveals intense, sultry fruit, a hint of pepper, a light roast, coffee and chocolate, plums, a pleasant touch of spice, and a touch of delicate vanilla cream.
