Don Eleuterio Martinez Arzok was born in Barriobusto. In 1861 he bought a house and lands in Oyon and founded the Faustino Group. At the turn of the century the vineyards were totally destroyed by phylloxera. His son Don Faustino Martinez Perez de Albeniz was born in 1904 and, in 1920, he helped his father rebuild and restore the vineyards. Faustino began bottling their wines in 1930 and by 1957 Don Julio Faustino Martinez, the third generation, took over the family business and in 1960, the Faustino brand was created in honour of his father. Today, the Faustino group owns several Bodegas including the 55 hectare estate Bodegas Valcarlos. This wine is an even blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is cask aged in Ohio oak to develop complexity and balance. This has produced a bright, intense, deep cherry red with tawny hues at the rim. Powerful and complex to the nose this red wine is meaty, full and balsamic in the mouth and is complement but the enjoyable finish. (6 x 75 cl)
