Wines by Faust is a nod to Goethe's Faust, the timeless tale of a man driven by pleasure, desire and temptation. That same spirit lives on here, with a wine made for those who appreciate depth, character and a touch of indulgence.
The 2023 Faust Tempranillo is sourced from a BioGro-certified organic vineyard in Bendigo, Central Otago. Hand harvested, wild fermented and matured in aged French oak barriques, this is a beautifully expressive Tempranillo with aromas of ripe red cherries, dark plum and wild berries, layered with hints of violets, dried herbs and warming spice. The palate is juicy and vibrant, with savoury earthy undertones, subtle oak complexity and fine, talcy tannins. Fresh acidity brings energy and balance, leading to a long, supple finish. Elegant, structured and complex.
