The British magazine Drinks International includes FAUSTINO brand among the 15 most prestigious in the wine sector worldwide for another year.
Bodegas Faustino, a brand of Familia Martínez Zabala, consolidates its position in the 15thplace of the ranking “The World’s Most Admired Wine Brands 2025” which is produced annually by the prestigious British magazine Drinks International.
The jury is composed by 200 experts from the wine sector such as Masters of Wine, sommeliers and other specialists from more than 48 countries. The members are asked to name five wine brands they admire most, taking into account factors such as quality and consistency of wine, brand strength and marketing.
Faustino I Gran Reserva, the most emblematic wine of the winery, is a leader in exporting Grandes Reservas, the most prestigious category of Rioja wines and is present in more than 140 countries.
Bodegas Faustino produces every year with the knowledge of four generations of a family passionate about the world of the wine, and with the best means, wines with an almost infinite potential. Each bottle is a masterpiece waiting to be discovered and appreciated by the consumer when it is in perfect tasting condition, and all vintages have great aging potential, so the winery takes pride in offering one of the widest selections of vintages available for sale.
The fourth generation of Familia Martínez Zabala launches the first wine tourism project “Planeta 1.0” in collaboration with Foster & Partners. LB Faustino is the legacy of “la 4ª de Faustino” at Oyón, Rioja Alavesa. This project focuses in providing a unique visitor experience, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a comprehensive and exclusive array of activities centred around wine, vineyards, nature, architecture, culture and sustainability. This initiative uniquely connects all spaces with the surrounding vineyards.
Familia Martínez Zabala is a familiar group with over 160 years of legacy in the world of wine, bringing together six leading and globally recognized wineries: Bodegas Faustino, Portia, Campillo, Marqués de Vitoria, Valcarlos and Leganza. It develops a management model focused on its four pillars: Vineyard, People, Sustainability and Innovation. A model based on continuous investment in the latest technologies applied to the vineyard and wine, which allows not only improving the quality of the wine but also being much more respectful of the land, taking great care of the environment while always looking toward to the future.
