Meet our Winemakers

Elena Adell was born in Logroño and has been involved in winemaking since 1985. She started working with Campo Viejo in 1998.

The granddaughter of a grower, she studied Agricultural Science at university, specialising in Viticulture and Oenology. In her own words, "Being a Rioja born Agricultural Scientist, I would inevitably end up with vines and wines".

She has always worked in Rioja but, simultaneously, has also worked in other Spanish D.O.’s like Rías Baixas, Ribeiro, Ribera del Duero, Navarra, Jumilla, and Valdepeñas. An expert in Rioja, Elena has extensive experience working with the Tempranillo.

Few winemakers can participate in the design of the winery in which they will work, but Elena was involved from the beginning in the design of the current Campo Viejo winery. "This fabulous winery provides me with the ideal platform to continue reinforcing the values ​​that have made Campo Viejo a reference in the world of wine."
