Mature and elegant, its rich aromatic complexity is initially subtle,
revealing itself more and more as the wine breathes. Toasted oak
with notes of leather and earth. On the palate, silky, rounded tannins
accompany fresh red berries, dried raisins and spicy notes. This is a
rich, complex wine with exceptional concentration and a long
finish.

£27.80 Per Unit
El Coto was founded in 1970 in Rioja Alavesa and has grown from
modest beginnings into one of the best known Rioja producers.
Today El Coto has over 700 hectares of vineyard in production
across the three Rioja DOCa sub-zones of Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa
and Rioja Oriental. They also source grapes from all three areas,
but mostly from Rioja Alavesa. Head winemaker César Fernandez
oversees production, starting with hand picking into 350 kilogram
crates to ensure the grapes arrive at the winery in pristine
condition. Modern and intelligently designed, the emphasis in the
winery is on temperature control and gentle handling of the
grapes.
