`Coto Real` Rioja Reserva 2014

Coto Real is sourced from the 50-year-old ‘Los Cuatros Viejos’ vineyard in Rioja Alta. The soils are limestone and clay. The must was fermented between 21-28º in small stainless-steel tanks over a period of 21-30 days with daily pump overs. The wine was then transferred to various types of oak casks of different origins, toasts and coopers to undergo malolactic fermentation. It remained in barrel for a total of 24 months with a further 18 months of maturing in bottle prior to release. Intense aromas of red forest fruits, cocoa and star anise, structured by firm, ripe tannins.
