Faustino is a phenomenon in the Spanish wine world. Leading in size, quality and diversity.
This winery, which has been wholly owned and run by the same family for almost 140 years, grows (very unusual in Rioja) by far most of the grapes itself. Faustino is, partly for that reason, compared to the great Château wines from Bordeaux.
With over 650 hectares of its own vineyards, located in the best parts of the Rioja Alavesa, the entire production process, from vine to bottled bottle, remains in one hand. Faustino is also very innovative: Faustino was one of the very first to make a white Rioja with a significant proportion of Chardonnay in the blend: the Faustino V Blanco.
