Wine Not? The Rioja Character

Featured Winery – Campo Viejo Campo Viejo Crianza Campo Viejo Reserva Campo Viejo Gran Reserva

Spain Spain Spain

Every year, when producing Campo Viejo, the winemaker tries to transmit the distinctive Rioja character. For this reason, the varieties which have given Rioja its typical flavor play a fundamental role in their wines: the Tempranillo, Rioja grape par excellance which imprints the character of the wines on the denomination; the Mazuelo variety, source of the acid balance in the wines and the Graciano which provides structure, amplitude and elegance to the wine yielding the Reserva and Gran Reserva.

Campo Viejo wines are characterized because they benefit from the diversity offered by the different varieties, grown in the different areas of the Rioja Province (qualified designation of origin).

Fiesta’s Produce Department Fruits and vegetables are not only for salads. Try grilling them for a change! The flavor of the vegetable intensifies when it has been grilled and almost any fruit can be cooked on the grill. Try doing some apples, peaches, bananas or melons and maybe sprinkle a little sugar on them while on the grill to caramelize them. And for veggies try artichokes, asparagus, bell peppers, sweet corn in the husk, eggplants, onions, potatoes or tomatoes. You’ll be surprised at how delicious these healthy options can be.

Fiesta’s Meat Department Give the kids their shish kabobs and no one will get hurt! It’s finally grilling season and Fiesta has all your favorites to throw on the grill and enjoy.

Beef steaks, ribs, chicken, you name it, Fiesta’s Meat Department has it and will surprise you with its selections.

If you want to make it simple with ready-to-grill marinated beef or chicken fajitas or get some ground chuck or ground sirloin for your delicious burgers, you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. And of course, for delicious kabobs, pick up some sirloin and your veggies and you’re good to go.
