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.

There's also plenty of ripe black fruit, spices like pepper and bay leaf, a touch of toffee, and coffee grounds.

And so it was, today the Coto Mayor winery has grown enormously. The vineyards comprise a total of 110 hectares. Many winegrowers have since joined Coto Mayor to further expand their reach and expand their expertise. With all their knowledge and experience, the winery has recently invested heavily in vineyard improvements, modern winemaking techniques, and new oak barrels, among other things.

Once the grapes are brought to Coto Mayor, they are naturally aged in oak barrels for up to 12 months after vinification. American oak from various regions is used.

Despite all his successes, Palacios embarked on a new adventure with his cousin Ricardo Perez. Their goal was to revive the wines of Bierzo. Both saw an opportunity, and in 1998 they jointly established a new winery in Corullon. Bierzo also features old, steep vineyards with abundant slate. The local grape is Mencia.\n\n\n \nThe grapes used come from plots of very old vines, between 50 and 90 years old. They are sourced from small plots in five municipalities in Bierzo.

In the winery, the grapes are destemmed for approximately 25 days and fermented in open wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place for two months in closed wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks. Pétalos del Bierzo is then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels before bottling, filtering, and clarification.
