Rich ruby red in the glass with a bright rim. On the nose, expect expressive aromas of red cherry, raspberry and plum framed by notes of vanilla, cedar and subtle spice from oak ageing.

🏡 Winemaking & Story

Crafted by El Coto de Rioja, one of Rioja’s most respected wineries, this Reserva is made predominantly from Tempranillo grapes sourced from estate vineyards in Rioja Alta. The wine undergoes extended ageing — typically around 18 months in American oak barrels followed by bottle maturation — which adds complexity, softness and depth to the fruit-driven profile.
