Grapes from Faustino's oldest vines are used for this wine, resulting in full-bodied and powerful grapes. These grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed immediately. They are then aged for an impressive 26 months in French and American oak barrels. After this oak aging, the Faustino I undergoes three years of bottle aging in the cellars, resulting in a stunning result. The first Spanish wines left the winery over 150 years ago. Bodega Faustino manages the entire production process itself. All the grapes for its Reservas and Gran Reservas are grown in-house, which is highly unusual in Rioja. The entire production process, from vine to bottle, remains under one roof. The success of this approach is evident in Faustino's significant international success. The family business was soon forced to expand with more vineyards, wine barrels, and cellars. Bodega Faustino now owns over 800 hectares of vineyards and exports its wines to more than forty countries. The winery can hold approximately 50,000 oak barrels and maintains a permanent inventory of approximately nine million bottles.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe aroma and taste of the Faustino 1 Gran Reserva Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wines are typically presented in frosted, Burgundian-style bottles with a Rembrandt-style label depicting an 18th-century Spanish nobleman.

The palate of this Conde de Valdemar Rioja Gran Reserva is powerful, thanks in part to the oak aging and the bottle aging. After aging in oak barrels, the wine is then bottle-aged for three years in Valdemar's cellars. This results in a top-class wine with aromas of black fruit, tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, wood, and so much more. Be sure to open this Valdemar Gran Reserva well in advance, as it needs plenty of air to fully develop. The finish is long and rich, with a lovely, slightly creamy finish—in short, a gem of a Rioja.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775757979727,"sku":"5094","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/conde-de-valdemar-rioja-gran-reserva_5094.webp?v=1770046355"},{"product_id":"inspiracion-valdemar-seleccion","title":"Inspiracion Valdemar Seleccion","description":"What a top-notch wine this Inspiracion Valdemar Rioja is!

They are harvested late, in the second week of October, to wait for the tannins to reach their full ripeness. After harvest, a rigorous selection process follows. After fermentation, the wine is aged for twelve months in a combination of French and American oak, with French oak accounting for three-quarters and American oak for one-quarter.

All the grapes develop a kind of princely life and are well-suited to the extremely high temperatures of the Rioja, which can reach over forty degrees Celsius in summer.

According to the RedHeads winemaker, this red wine is a Spanish joke that turned out very well. The winemaker had spotted this unusual vineyard on a small family estate in One Tree Hill, a tiny hamlet nestled between the Barossa Hills and Adelaide. Not quite in the hills, as it gets quite warm during the day, but he gets a cool draft from the hills at night, which slows the ripening of the grapes... which explains the astonishingly deep red hue of the Vin Atus.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Quality wines from RedHeads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nA young group of winemakers in McLaren Valley formed the RedHeads Studio winery.

It began in an old restaurant, where a group of young winemakers did everything they could to break away from the large wine cooperatives. They wanted to make their own wines in small volumes, focusing on quality. To this day, the winery continues to grow and has won over a considerable number of wine lovers, both nationally and internationally, with their expertise.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e 14 months of wood aging for the Vin Atus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe RedHeads winery has a unique knack for finding fantastic, high-quality, flavorful grapes. They blend them gradually to create a wine with abundant character. The grapes for this Vin Atus are harvested by hand and fermented in open tanks, with the pulp regularly immersed by hand. The wine then undergoes extensive skin maceration to enhance its flavors. Finally, the wine is aged for 14 months in both new and used French and American oak barrels.\n\n\n\n The result is a delicious wine with aromas of plums and sour cherries, along with white pepper, vanilla, and spices. You can even smell Christmas in this red wine. It has silky tannins on the palate, supported by juicy fruit. This is followed by lingering sweet oak notes, left over from the oak aging. A beautiful wine that is definitely on our list of favorites.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775797203023,"sku":"10747","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/redheads-vin-atus_10747.webp?v=1770120935"},{"product_id":"cruz-del-castillo-rioja-reserva","title":"Cruz del Castillo Rioja Reserva","description":"This red Cruz del Castillo Rioja Reserva is the family's flagship wine, a wine with immense depth and richness.

The estate is located at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria and was a pioneer in Rioja by designing the architecture, vineyard, and winery as a single entity. Campillo 57 was conceived as a tribute to the birth year 1957 of the first family member of the fourth generation of Martínez Zabala, making this wine not only technically special but also having clear family significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eigen Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45455887401039,"sku":"7370","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/BodegasCampillo57SeleccionEspecial.webp?v=1781599809"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/druif-graciano.oembed?page=3","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
