Campo Viejo Crianza

Product Code:

A mid-weight Rioja which bridges the gap between fruity and oaky styles of Rioja. Campo Viejo are the market leading Rioja producers.

Tasting Notes : Light to medium-bodied, ripe, meaty, jammy, raspberry fruit with rounded, warm, spicy flavours and vanilla hints.

Producer : Bodegas Campo Viejo

Method of Production : Ageing for 12 months in oak barrels, followed by a further six in bottle, has given the wine complexity and structure. This wine is made to emphasise the up-front ripe fruit from this region. A modern approach, encompassing short fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks has produced a fruity wine, without compromising on the quality expected from a traditional area like Rioja.

Product Reviews

Bought 10 bottles of Rioja to blind test. This was the cheapest and by far the best. If you want anything better try the Reserva from the same house. Super.

A wine for all occasions, be it with roast dinners, fine cheeses or just a relaxing evening in. Silky smooth with very little tanin, bursting with fruit and not too oaky.

This is amazing, full bodied oaky, and rich! Loved it, and will keep loving it!

Nothing else! I'll switch to water, if they ever run out of that beautiful and tasty bottle! That wine fits every situation! Non-Food, meat, morning, evning ... don't miss that one!
