Campo Viejo Reserva Rioja

A beautiful structured Spanish red wine with fruit characters such as cherries and ripe blackberries. The wine has elegant and soft tannins, middle weight, long and complex finish. There is a great balance between the fruit (cherries, black plums, ripe blackberries) and the clean nuances from the oak (clove, pepper, vanilla and coconut), enriched by the complex aromas developed during bottle ageing. Very attractive on the palate, with ripe fruit and spices, tobacco and toasted oak. Elegant and soft tannins, middleweight, long and complex finish. After the grapes are de-stemmed, gently crushed, and fermented the components of the final blend are aged separately in French and American oak barriques for 18 months. After the oak ageing, the final blend is made and then the wine rests in bottle for a further 18 months where it gains its complexity and round palate. Pairs well with red meat, grilled and roasted food, mature and blue cheeses.
