Brand Background and Rioja Roots
Campo Viejo is produced in Rioja, a designated wine region in northern Spain that holds DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada) status, Spain's highest quality classification. The region is celebrated for its red wines built primarily on the Tempranillo grape, often blended with varieties such as Garnacha (Grenache), Graciano, and Mazuelo.
The brand is part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio and has grown into one of the largest and most widely exported Rioja producers. Its winery near Logroño incorporates significant investment in sustainable practices and modern winemaking, reflecting Campo Viejo's focus on producing large volumes of consistent, quality-driven wine.
Campo Viejo has played a role in bringing Rioja to a broad international audience, positioning itself as an accessible, everyday wine that still reflects the character and traditions of its home region.
House Style and Production
Campo Viejo's reds are typically Tempranillo-led, showing ripe red and dark fruit flavors, soft tannins, and vanilla or spice notes derived from oak aging. The house style leans toward approachable, smooth, and fruit-forward wines rather than austere or heavily structured expressions.
Rioja wines are commonly classified by aging: Crianza wines are aged for a set minimum period in oak and bottle, Reserva wines receive longer aging, and Gran Reserva wines are aged the longest and made only in favorable vintages. Campo Viejo produces wines across these tiers, allowing drinkers to explore how oak and time shape the wine.
In addition to its classic Rioja reds, Campo Viejo offers white wines, rosé, and a well-known sparkling Cava, broadening the range for different occasions and tastes.
What to Expect When Buying
When shopping the Campo Viejo range, consider the style you want. The Tempranillo and Crianza bottlings are versatile crowd-pleasers ideal for everyday drinking, while Reserva and Gran Reserva expressions offer more depth, complexity, and aging for special occasions.
These wines pair naturally with Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. Serve reds slightly below room temperature, around 60–65°F, and whites, rosé, and Cava well chilled.
