Description

About Faustino Cava Brut Reserva

Bodegas Faustino was established in 1861 by the Martínez Zabala family and remains one of Rioja’s historic landmark houses. While the vast majority of Cava is produced in Catalonia, Faustino holds official rights under the D.O. Cava regulatory board to craft sparkling wines in
Rioja Alavesa.

The estate vineyards sit on chalky clay-limestone terraces at an elevation of 650 meters, benefiting from a continental climate influenced by the Atlantic and the Sierra de Cantabria. These cooler conditions foster exceptional natural acidity and delicate aromatic tension in both Macabeo and Chardonnay. Made strictly via the Traditional Method with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine spends 18 to 26 months resting on its fine lees before disgorgement, yielding sophisticated textural creaminess balanced by clean, mountain-driven freshness.

Climate & Overall Wine Profile

  • Colour: Bright pale yellow with shimmering golden highlights; persistent columns of micro-bubbles.

  • Aroma: Inviting bouquet of crisp green apples, ripe pears, honeysuckle blossoms, lemon zest, toasted almonds, and pastry dough.

  • Palate: Rounded and refreshing with vibrant, thirst-quenching acidity; fine effervescence seamlessly integrated into the wine’s medium body, finishing clean with lingering echoes of white fruit and honeyed floral nuances.

Tasting notes

2019

Pale straw-yellow with bright golden reflections and a steady bead of fine bubbles forming a persistent mousse. The nose presents crisp green apples, lemon zest, and white peach, intertwined with notes of chamomile, fresh dough, toasted brioche, and almonds from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is crisp, elegant, and harmonious, offering a creamy mousse balanced by vibrant mountain acidity from Rioja Alavesa, finishing clean, savory, and refreshingly dry.

2018

Luminous pale yellow with a fine and delicate perlage. The aromatics are dominated by ripe orchard fruits, candied citrus, honeysuckle, and light pastry dough. The palate is fluid, round, and creamy, featuring seamless effervescence and bright, refreshing acidity that delivers freshness and lift, concluding with an inviting, slightly floral and nutty finish.

2017

A warm and expressive release displaying golden reflections in the glass. The bouquet opens with ripe yellow apples, pear compote, honeycomb, and toasted brioche. Broad, rich, and vinous on entry, with fine bubbles providing texture, balanced by gentle acidity and a lingering, honeyed citrus finish.

2016

Elegant and classically proportioned with a continuous stream of micro-bubbles. Notes of green orchard fruits, lemon blossom, dry herbs, and roasted almonds, accented by a refined yeasty core. The palate is dry, energetic, and poised, driven by clean limestone acidity and an agile, refreshing finish.

2015

Generous and opulent, showing deeper straw hues. The bouquet displays baked pear, apricot, toasted hazelnuts, and warm pastry crust. Rich and textural on the palate, backed by smooth, integrated carbonation and a pleasant, persistent finish marked by dried fruit and brioche.

2014

Fresh, linear, and mineral-driven. Opens with green apple, grapefruit peel, white blossom, and wet chalk nuances over light yeast lees. On the palate, it displays notable tension and precision, framed by a brisk acid backbone and a crisp, saline, thirst-quenching finish.
