Indulge in the captivating allure of the El Coto de Imaz Rioja Crianza, a wine that embodies the rich heritage and time-honored traditions of Spain's renowned Rioja region. Crafted with meticulous care by El Coto de Rioja, a winery celebrated for its unwavering commitment to quality, this Crianza offers an exquisite taste experience that will tantalize your senses. The 2019 vintage is a testament to the artistry of winemaking.

This Rioja Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, carefully selected from the vineyards. This grape variety is the heart and soul of Rioja wines, imparting their characteristic vibrant fruit, elegant structure, and age-worthiness. The wine has undergone a period of maturation in oak barrels and a further period in the bottle. The result is a beautifully balanced wine with a deep ruby hue. On the nose, you'll be greeted with enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwining with subtle notes of vanilla, cedar, and spice, derived from the oak aging. These fragrances create a harmonious symphony of scents that entice you to take the first sip. As the wine graces your palate, it unveils a velvety texture with a medium-bodied profile and fine tannins. It is a dry wine with a complexity of flavors that unfold gradually, beginning with a burst of red fruit, followed by layers of warm vanilla, subtle spice, and a hint of oak. The finish is long, elegant, and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression. The wine's well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity make it a pleasure to drink and ensures it can be paired with a wide variety of dishes.

This wine is an excellent choice for various culinary pairings. Its fruity character and subtle spice notes make it a wonderful companion to tapas, charcuterie boards, and hard cheeses. The wine also shines when served with roasted or grilled meats, such as lamb, pork, or beef, enhancing the richness and depth of the dishes. For pasta lovers, consider pairing this Rioja Crianza with meat-based sauces or hearty vegetable dishes, where its acidity will cut through the richness and cleanse your palate. The wine also complements the strong flavor of grilled salmon.

This El Coto Crianza is a testament to the winery's dedication to the rich Rioja tradition, as well as to its innovative and modern approach. It showcases what is possible with the best grapes from the region and it is a wine that you can trust. Enjoy it at a serving temperature of 16°C, allowing the wine's flavors and aromas to express themselves fully. It will also open up if you let it breathe for 15 minutes after pouring. Each bottle embodies the winery's philosophy of creating wines that are a true reflection of the Rioja region’s terroir and character.
