2025Founded in 1970, El Coto de Rioja has grown to become one of Spain's most respected wineries, renowned for producing wines that consistently balance tradition, quality and accessibility. Combining fruit from Rioja Alta with grapes grown at their high-altitude Finca Carbonera vineyard, the winery places great emphasis on preserving freshness and varietal character through careful temperature-controlled winemaking.
El Coto Rioja Blanco is crafted primarily from Viura, complemented by small proportions of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc to add aromatic lift and freshness. The grapes are harvested during the cool hours of the day and fermented at low temperatures to preserve their vibrant fruit character, resulting in a wine that is crisp, expressive and beautifully balanced. The 2025 vintage continues this successful style, offering lively fruit, refreshing acidity and excellent drinkability.
A dry, light- to medium-bodied white wine that's all about freshness and easy enjoyment. Bright citrus fruit, crisp apple and ripe pear are supported by lively acidity, creating a wine that's clean, refreshing and wonderfully balanced.
Unlike richer oaked white wines, this Rioja is vibrant and fruit-forward, with no heavy buttery character. If you enjoy wines such as Pinot Grigio, Albariño or Sauvignon Blanc, but are looking for something a little softer and rounder, El Coto Rioja Blanco is an excellent choice.
