Additional Information

At the Finca Carbonera winery, you'll find the highest vineyards in Rioja. The Tempranillo grapes for this wine grow at an altitude of 875 meters. After fermentation, the wine matures for approximately 9 months in (new) American and French oak barrels, which ensures the integration of wood notes and a refined structure.

The El Coto de Rioja winery is a relatively young (1970) but very successful company. The winery in Oyón, just north of Logroño, is impressive due to its scale and efficiency in combination with age-old traditions.

In addition, El Coto owns more than 700 hectares of vineyards spread over 7 different locations, allowing them to achieve optimal diversity in grape supply. The vineyard management is scientifically supervised, ensuring that grapes of the highest possible quality can be produced under all circumstances.

El Coto produces wines with an exceptionally good price-quality ratio. This has allowed them to grow into one of the leading houses in the region in a short period. For example, El Coto Crianza is the best-selling Rioja Crianza in Spain, and El Coto Blanco is even the best-selling white Rioja worldwide!
