El Coto de Rioja, located in Oyon, was founded in 1970 by a group of winemakers committed to creating a new type of Rioja. It took almost 5 years to release the first in 1975. Today, El Coto is the leading brand in Spain and among the top-selling Spanish wines in Europe.
All wines are produced from estate vineyards, located in Alta, Alavesa & Baja. The soils are mostly ferric clay, sand and limestone, which are perfectly for aromatic & expressive wines with great finesse.
With the exception of "Coto real" Reserva and "Coto de Imaz" Gran Reserva, all reds are aged in new American oak barrels, the classic Rioja marriage of wine and wood. Their seductive cigar box, spice and herbal aromas and silky red fruit flavours are the essence of fine traditional Rioja.
