Wine Tips of the Week April 6, 2010 - Wines of the World and Campo Viejo Reserva 2004
Greetings from Vintage Connections!
Wines of the World “102” (or Part 2)
Come journey with us as we travel to some new and interesting places to experience wines of the world, figuratively speaking, of course. When we last offered this course we traveled to the more known wine regions of the world like France, Italy and Australia. This time we would like to take you to some lesser known regions and some that just might surprise you like New Zealand, South Africa and Israel. We’ve been diligently experimenting with some wines from these places and others to bring you something new and different.
Campo Viejo Reserva 2004
From the Rioja region of Spain, this red wine is a blend of 75 % Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, and 10% Mazuelo. Aged for 18 months in oak casks and 18 months in the bottle, winemaker Elena Adell says of her wine, “Good structure with a velvety texture, combining flavors of ripe fruit and vanilla”. Alcohol is 13.5% by volume. PLCB product code is 9327 and is currently available at most PA Wine and Spirits Stores on sale for $8.99, regularly $12.99.
