Faustino Rioja Blanco Gran Reserva I 2019 750ml

A modern wine where the nuances of stone fruits such as peach and apricot, floral and tropical, such as mango and pineapple, all with syrupy notes merge with elegant notes of wood provided by the barrel and its ageing process in the bottle.
It goes perfectly with fish and white meats. Poultry in light sauces goes very well, as do rice dishes, paellas and seafood.

Also referred to as Macabeo, it plays a significant role in many Spanish white wines and Cava blends, lending them distinctive characteristics and flavor profiles.

Renowned for its crisp acidity, Viura wines boast a light body and refreshing citrus notes, often complemented by hints of green apple and floral aromas. Its capacity to maintain acidity, even in warm climates, renders it a preferred choice for winemakers aiming for balance and vibrancy.

Whether savored on its own or blended with other varietals, Viura remains integral to Spanish winemaking, offering a delightful and approachable drinking experience globally.
