El Coto Rioja Crianza
A classic Rioja that shows why American oak and Tempranillo go so well together: warm, structured, with a finish that lingers.
El Coto de Rioja is one of the most well-known houses in the region. The grapes for this Crianza come from the Rioja Alavesa — calcareous soils known for firmer, more mineral Tempranillo wines than the sandy sites of the Rioja Baja. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine ages for 12 to 14 months in American barrique barrels (225 l), followed by at least six more months in the bottle. MundusVini awarded a gold medal in 2019, James Suckling 90 points for the 2015 vintage.
In the glass, it shows aromas of dark cherry, plum, and vanilla, plus the typical coconut and woody spice of American oak. The tannins are softly integrated, the body is medium to full, the finish pleasantly long with a hint of roasted aromas.
- Food: Grilled lamb, chorizo, patatas bravas, or mature Manchego
- Temperature: 16–18 °C

Quick answers
How does the El Coto Rioja Crianza 2022 taste?
Dark cherry and plum in the foreground, plus vanilla and the typical coconut and wood spice of American oak. The tannins are softly integrated, the body is medium to full – a classic Rioja with a long finish and a hint of roasted aromas.
Is the wine dry?
Yes, the Crianza is vinified dry. 12 to 14 months in American barrique barrels and subsequently at least six months of bottle aging give it structure, without residual sugar.
What does it pair best with?
Grilled lamb, chorizo, or mature Manchego are classic companions. It also pairs nicely with roast veal, game dishes, or tapas evenings — the wine can handle strong seasoning.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Ideally at 16–18 °C — meaning slightly cooler than room temperature. Place it in the cellar or in the refrigerator for 20 minutes shortly before pouring.
How long can I store it?
The drinking window extends to 2027. The wine is ready to drink now, but hardly gains more with further storage in the cellar — enjoyment recommended within the next one to two years.
What is in the bottle — pure Tempranillo?
Yes, the wine is based on Tempranillo from the Rioja Alavesa, whose calcareous soils give the Crianza a bit more firmness and minerality than sites in other parts of the Rioja. 750 ml, 13.5% ABV.
The Bodega
The history of El Coto de Rioja begins in 1970 with the first harvest and continues with the opening of the production facilities in 1976. The Spanish winery is located in the north of the country, an hour and a half from the city of Bilbao. The winery has a total vineyard area of approximately 760 hectares, which is divided into eight different locations.
Among the largest locations are Finca Los Almendros and Finca Carbonera. In the winery's cellar, the wines are stored in more than 75,000 barrique barrels.
On the clayey soils, grape varieties such as Tempranillo, Viura, Sauvignon Blanc, or Garnacha are grown for the production of the wines. El Coto de Rioja is represented internationally and exports its products to over 70 countries worldwide.
