Faustino I Rioja Alavesa Gran Reserva 1987
Faustino I Rioja Alavesa Gran Reserva fra 1987 er en rødvin produceret af Bodegas Faustino Martínez. Vingården, der blev grundlagt i 1860, er en fuldt ud familieejet virksomhed. Med sine 450 hektar vinmarker har producenten etableret sig som en fremtrædende aktør inden for fremstillingen af Reserva- og Gran Reserva-vine i Spanien. Vinen bærer den højeste spanske klassifikation, Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa).
Vinen stammer fra Rioja Alavesa, som er beliggende i den baskiske del af Rioja nord for Ebro-floden. Dette område er en af de tre officielle zoner i regionen og strækker sig ved foden af Sierra de Cantabria. Her bidrager de kalkholdige jorde, højden og de kølige nætter til at skabe de optimale betingelser for vindyrkning. Årgang 1987 beskrives generelt som moden og let, og den har opnået en score på 81 point. Rioja Alavesa er historisk anerkendt for sin betydning for både moderne terroirvine og klassiske Rioja-produktioner.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Rioja
Rioja in Noord-Spanje is de beroemdste wijnregio van het land met een moderne wijngeschiedenis, gevormd door Franse wijnmakers in de 19e eeuw. Tempranillo is de belangrijkste druif, vaak vermengd met Garnacha, en de wijnen worden gekenmerkt door hun rijping in eikenhouten vaten, geclassificeerd als Crianza, Reserva en Gran Reserva. Het resultaat zijn zachte, rijpe rode wijnen met rode bessen, vanille, leer en kruiden.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
