Description
Originating from the famed wine region of Rioja in Spain, Campo Viejo has established itself as a name synonymous with the essence and spirit of this region. While Rioja is more popularly known for its Tempranillo-driven wines, the region’s Garnacha wines, like the Campo Viejo Garnacha 2018, reveal a different, equally captivating facet of Riojan viticulture.
The visual allure of the Campo Viejo Garnacha is undeniable, presenting a vibrant, ruby-red hue that gleams in the light. As you draw the glass closer, the nose is met with an exuberant bouquet. Red fruit aromas, notably raspberry and strawberry, take center stage, flanked by gentle whispers of violet florals and a hint of warm, Mediterranean herbs. There's also a subtle undertone of white pepper, indicative of Garnacha's intrinsic spiciness.
Taking a sip unveils the wine’s medium-bodied character. The palate is a reflection of the nose, bursting with juicy red fruits, but there's also a touch of cherry and plum to add depth. This fruitiness is beautifully tempered by a soft tannic structure and fresh acidity, ensuring a harmonious balance. The finish is moderately long, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of fruit and a hint of minerality, a nod to Rioja's unique soil composition.
The Campo Viejo Garnacha, with its fruit-forward and approachable profile, is versatile in its pairing capabilities. Consider dishes like grilled poultry, roasted vegetables, or a classic Spanish paella to complement its flavors. It's equally delightful when sipped solo, allowing the wine's nuances to shine unadulterated.
In conclusion, the Campo Viejo Garnacha 2018 serves as a testament to Rioja’s varied and rich winemaking traditions. While it steps out of the typical Riojan mold, it stands proud, offering a delightful drinking experience that's both refreshing and deeply rooted in its origin.
