Description:Coto Real Reserva is a red wine from D.O. Rioja produced by El Coto de la Rioja.This wine has been produced from Tempranillo. The grapes come from old vines with a high quality potential in Rioja Alta. They have selected various barrels types from particular origins, barrels that have been toasted and from coopers, which without doubt contributes to the complexity of the wine. The aging process takes place in the barrel for 20 months. There is no filtration and afterwards it is refined in the bottle for two years before it is released onto the market.
Tasting Notes:The wine is a deep cherry red colour. Notes of mocha and café adorned with aromas of forest fruits on the nose. Silky and dense on the palate, with a long, satisfying finish.
Food Pairing: Red meats, game
