The story of Campo Viejo Gran Reserva

Campo Viejo started in Rioja in 1959, and its wines are now made at a winery built in 2001 about five kilometres from Logroño. The building sits 100 metres above the River Ebro, surrounded by 54 hectares of vineyard, with more than 45,000 square metres of it built underground. The barrel cellar holds 70,000 oak barrels in a single space.

The Gran Reserva is the long-aged end of the range. It is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo, and it is crafted over five years before release, with oak adding smoky, spicy notes. It comes in at 14 percent alcohol, and it reaches the shelf years after the grapes were picked.

On the nose there are blackberries, blueberries and plums, with spice, a little tobacco and some toasted wood. The palate is full and balanced, with soft, velvety tannins, and the finish runs to coffee, chocolate and dark fruit. Put it beside roast lamb, game, a slow-cooked red meat dish or lamb stew with chestnut sauce, or bring out a mature or blue cheese with it.
