A very fresh and gentle wine. All we have had has been very consistent. Good for entertaining friends because it seems to please all white wine drinkers. Excellent value for money. Will buy again

Having stuck with Sauvignon blancs and pinot grigios for years, I found Faustino white rioja in a mixed case and loved it instantly. I was delighted when Tesco offered it as a case on its own and have ordered it three times since as it has a unique flavour and punches way above its weight-- a brilliant wine and great value. Just hope Tesco doesn't run out!

Faustino Rioja Blanco

Not really worthy of either the Faustino name (some of whose wines are very good) or to be called a Rioja. It is a thin, very light bodied wine lacking any real oomph or wow factor. Drinkable but no outstanding features. Separately, in my opinion, there is a considerable distance between the available profile categories of "Explorer" and "Expert" and would have preferred an "Experienced Wine Drinker" option sitting between the two?
