The 1966 Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva carries the quiet authority of a wine made for patience. From the estate’s vineyards in Logroño, it was crafted mainly from Tempranillo, aged in wooden vats and American oak for several years before bottling. The 1966 vintage may not have been celebrated at the time, but the careful selection and traditional practices of Campo Viejo allowed this wine to develop structure and depth that only time could reveal.

Decades in the bottle have softened its edges, leaving a wine that speaks in subtle, layered notes. Hints of leather, spice, and dried fruit emerge alongside mellowed tannins and gentle acidity, offering a reflective, measured experience. This is a Rioja that asks for attention, not display—a reminder of the elegance and enduring craft of Campo Viejo, and the quiet rewards that come from letting time do its work.
