Campo Viejo Tempranillo 13.5%
Pour this and you get a glass of ripe red fruit with a soft, smooth landing. No homework required. It's the bottle you open on a Tuesday because the day was long, and it's just as happy next to a plate of nyama choma on a Friday night. Spanish Rioja, made from Tempranillo, and built to be poured rather than studied. We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
Deep cherry-red in the glass. The nose is all ripe red fruit, strawberry and dark cherry, with a gentle puff of vanilla and warm spice from a few months in American oak. First sip is soft and rounded, fruit up front, never sharp or drying. It finishes long and mellow with a little cocoa note hanging around. Smooth is the word your mate will use, and they'll be right.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Rioja in northern Spain, the country's most famous red wine region, made by Campo Viejo near the city of Logroño. Fun bit of trivia: the name means "the old field," a nod to Roman times when veteran legionaries were handed plots of vineyard land as a reward for their service. The brand itself kicked off in 1959, and today it's one of Rioja's biggest names. It's Tempranillo through and through, the grape that gives Rioja its smooth, fruity signature.
