What our customers say
El Coto de Rioja –
Classic Rioja wines since 1970
El Coto de Rioja is one of the most consistent names in the Spanish wine world. Founded in 1970 with the first harvest, the winery opened its production facilities in northern Spain in 1976 – an hour and a half from Bilbao, in the middle of Rioja. Tempranillo, Garnacha, Viura, and Sauvignon Blanc grow here on clay-rich soils across around 760 hectares of vineyards, distributed over eight sites. The best-known of these are Finca Los Almendros and Finca Carbonera.
In the cellar, the wines are stored in more than 75,000 barrique barrels – a number that underscores the house's classic aging approach: controlled maturation, clear structure, and recognizability in the glass. Tempranillo-focused red wines with dark fruit, soft tannins, and a hint of vanilla from the wood are the heart of the range.
With exports to over 70 countries, El Coto de Rioja is one of the most internationally present wineries in the region – and at the same time a reliable entry into the diversity of Rioja viticulture, whether as an accompaniment to lamb, chorizo, or a mature Manchego.
