Campo Viejo Gran Reserva is a distinguishingly fruity modern classic. It has an aroma of blackberries, blueberries, and plums, smoky, toasted wood nuances. Great palate weight, extraordinary balance acidity. Elegant and complex aftertaste, with hints of coffee, chocolate, tobacco and dark fruit. The grapes come from different locations, mostly from older vineyards, are de-stemmed and gently crushed and the carried via gravity force to stainless steel vats for fermentation at a controlled temperature. The components of the final blend are aged separately in French and American oak barriques (225 litres) for 24 months. After the oak ageing, the final blend is made and then the wine rests in bottle for a further 36 months were it gains its complexity and length in the palate. Pairs well with Red meat, grilled meat and roasts, game, mature and blue cheeses.
