WINE MAKING PROCESS
Campo Viejo Crianza is produced using controlled temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a ten-day maceration period with the grape skins. The wine is then aged for twelve months in French and American oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and flavor profile. Following barrel aging, it undergoes a further six months of refinement in the bottle before release. Bodegas Campo Viejo emphasizes sustainability in its operations, utilizing modern technology and an architecturally innovative underground winery to minimize environmental impact and optimize winemaking conditions.
