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 i det nordlige Spanien er landets mest berømte vinregion med en moderne vinhistorie formet af franske vinmagere i 1800-tallet. Tempranillo er hoveddruen, ofte blandet med Garnacha, og vinene defineres af deres lagring på egetræsfade, klassificeret som Crianza, Reserva og Gran Reserva. Resultatet er bløde, modne rødvine med røde bær, vanilje, læder og krydderi.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
