Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva 750ml

Spain 2013

Tasting note Ruby red with a golden hue at the rim, bright and deep, complex nose. On the frit side, it reveals cherry, black plum, and juicy blackberries. The time spent in the cask brings cloves, pepper, vanilla, coconut. Smooth, balanced mouth-feel, elegant and full, with a long, lingering finish.

Red wines get their colour from the skins which are included when the wines are fermented. The length of time that wines are in contact with the skins can influence the colour of the wine. The thickness of the grape’s skin can also affect the colour with thicker skinned varieties generally producing deeper coloured wines
