Our take
What we make of this bottle
This is a red wine made from Tempranillo. In our September 2026 checks its price ranged from $8.99 to $18.99, which put it among the least expensive reds we track.
Our grape research describes Tempranillo as a red grape central to Rioja and grown across Spain and other countries. It can be bottled on its own or in a blend, and many long-established styles give it time in oak.
The Rioja authority describes the grape as showing red and dark fruit, medium acidity, and a structure that suits aging, with oak adding spice and savory notes and younger bottlings keeping the fruit more direct. That is Tempranillo as a category, not this one bottle. We do not have a shopper rating for this bottle.
Pernod Ricard lists Campo Viejo among its brands and says the winery was founded in Rioja in 1959.

Getting to know Rioja DOCa.
Rioja’s name does real legal work, but a generic Tempranillo is not automatically Crianza. Classification must come from the label, not from the region’s reputation for oak aging.
What the name means
Spain’s qualified denomination of origin, with regulated origin and labeling plus separate place- and aging-based classifications.
How grapes grow here
Atlantic and Mediterranean influences meet across Rioja’s three broad zones, creating meaningful variation in ripeness and freshness.
What lies under the vines
Clay-limestone, clay-ferrous and alluvial settings recur across the denomination; a generic regional bottling can blend across them.
How large the region is
- Bottle test
- The year, back-label seal, and aging category still need to be checked on a bottle.
Places within the region
- Classification
- Generic, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva communicate different aging requirements; never upgrade a bottle by implication.
