Spec sheet
The wine
El Coto Crianza is a rounded and fruit-forward red, which has successfully developed so as to adapt to modern times, keeping within the reach of most budgets and without losing the winery’s identity. It has picked up numerous international awards at important events in Prague, Brussels and London. Of medium depth, red fruit, silky tannins, hints of cocoa... a historical delight.
What does this wine taste like?
A ruby-red colour and of medium density in appearance, the pleasantly fragrant nose exhibits fresh fruit aromas (strawberries) with touches of vanilla and oaky liquorice hints. Showing great balance on the palate, the wine is silky-smooth on entry and continues velvety, with an agreeable finish.

Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in the Oyón bodega, equipped with the latest advances in technology for keeping the temperature controlled during production processes. This enables just the right colour extraction to be obtained and helps to achieve a balanced wine with good structure. Aged for 12 months in 225-litre American oak barrels, and afterwards allowed to rest in bottle for a minimum of 6 months before release.
