During these almost 50 years of history, El Coto has strived to create of one of the most recognized wine brands in Spain and around the world. El Coto is the largest owner of vineyards in the D.O.Ca. Rioja, with four distinct estates (and eight individual properties) sprawling throughout the three sub regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa. Each estate is suited to produce the best Rioja can offer. El Coto not only takes care of what goes in the bottle, but how it\u2019s handled before and after it gets there. Typical aging rules for Rioja D.O.Ca. dictates that a Crianza must be oak aged for 12 month.

Tasting Notes

This wine showcases an intense cherry color with ripe fruit combined with balsamic and slight toast on the nose. A well-balanced wine with pronounced red fruits on the palate with an almost savory and long-lasting finish. Versatile and easy to pair with meats, fish, cheeses or Iberian hams.
