El Coto Rioja Crianza

Region: Rioja, Spain

Vintage: 2020

Bottle size: 75cl

Grape: Tempranillo

ABV: 13.5%

This wine is a vibrant ruby red colour with a garnet rim. Aromas of red fruits, vanilla and toast entice the nose. On the palate, the wine's silky texture is tempered by concentrated, red berry fruit and notes of sweet spice from the oak, which culminate in a juicy and persistent finish.

The grapes for this wine were sourced mainly from Rioja Alavesa with some from Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental. The vineyards are old and divided into small parcels, of limestone and clay soils.

El Coto was founded in 1970 in Rioja Alavesa and has grown from humble beginnings into one of the best-known Rioja producers. Today El Coto has approximately 800 hectares of vineyard in production across the three Rioja DOCa sub-zones of Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental. This makes them the largest vineyard owner in Rioja and gives them great control of the quality of the grapes which go into their wines, the majority of which are sourced from their own vineyards.
