Coto Imaz 2018 Gran Reserva Rioja

Coto Imaz Gran Reserva is crafted only in exceptional vintages, when fruit quality and balance meet the rigorous standards required for extended aging. Predominantly Tempranillo, the grapes are harvested from selected vineyards and fermented under controlled conditions to ensure precision and depth. The wine undergoes long aging in American oak barrels, followed by additional bottle maturation, allowing the structure to soften and the flavours to fully harmonize. This patient, traditional approach highlights Rioja’s classic style while delivering polish and longevity.

Tasting Notes:
Elegant and mature, the wine shows layered aromas of dried cherry, plum, and redcurrant, complemented by notes of vanilla, sweet spice, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, it is smooth and well-integrated, with silky tannins supporting savoury flavours of red fruit, cedar, and gentle oak spice. The finish is long and refined, marked by earthy nuances and lingering warmth that reflect its extended aging and classic Rioja character.
