This wine is just because.
This because, a reason.
This reason, our passion.Made from Tempranillo grapes, picked at the optimum ripeness; followed by temperature controlled fermentation and ageing in American oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. Beautiful red cherry color with ruby hints. Intense, fruit forward with elegant, well integrated, wood and vanilla notes.

The 2017 Bodegas Faustino Crianza Rioja opens with pleasing aromas of black cherry, a little leather, some floral notes and a touch of spice.
This is a rather young and fresh Tempranillo as far as Rioja goes and it’s quite good. It’s well structured, medium-bodied and has nicely integrated spice and vanilla notes along with fresh, juicy fruit.
It ends with a dry, slightly chewy, long finish.
