What it brings to the back bar.
Faustino is one of Rioja's most recognisable wine names, covering reds, whites, rosés and Cava. It gives menus immediate familiarity while still allowing premium trade-up through Reserva and Gran Reserva expressions.
The range is food-friendly, reliable and broad enough for by-the-glass pours, bottle lists and celebration serves. Faustino I Gran Reserva in particular gives the portfolio a strong heritage-led premium Rioja anchor.
The story behind the bottle.
Bodegas Faustino has more than 150 years of winemaking history in Rioja. Its portrait labels and long-aged wines have helped make it one of the region's defining international names.
ABUK lists Faustino I Gran Reserva at 13.5% ABV in 0.75 L.

Built for trade clarity.
