Fé Rioja is only made during the finest vintages by Bodegas Loli Casado. Their old-vine Tempranillo vineyards are located in Rioja Alavesa Reserva, Spain, at over 2,000 feet above sea level. Practicing sustainable viticulture, winemaker Loli Casado takes great care in preserving the land passed down over generations, encouraging biodiversity through native fauna and trees.

Hand-picked Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo are aged in fine grained American oak barrels for 24 months, followed by a further 18 months in the bottle. The end result is a structured and meaty wine, able to age beautifully for a decade or more.

Bright red and black fruits stand out in the aromas right away, with toasted and chocolate hints on the palate. Fé is the perfect balance between powerful and vibrant, and has a lingering finish of juicy blackberry and ripe redcurrant. Delicious when matched with grilled red meats, roasted poultry, meat stews and aged cheeses.
