Coto de Imaz Rioja Gran Reserva 2018
The Elegance of Rioja in a Gran Reserva
Tasting Notes
Coto de Imaz Rioja Gran Reserva 2017 is an exceptional wine that embodies the essence of Rioja with its deep ruby colour and enticing aromas. On the nose, it reveals an array of complex scents, with ripe black fruits like blackberries and plums, intertwined with notes of leather, tobacco, and hints of vanilla from the oak. The palate is full-bodied and elegant, with well-integrated tannins and a rich, smooth texture. Flavours of dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle spice are perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, culminating in a long, velvety finish. The wine’s maturity shines through, making it a wonderful choice for cellaring.
Perfect Serve
Serve at 16–18°C, and decant if possible to allow the wine to fully open up. This Gran Reserva pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like roast lamb, grilled meats, or rich stews. It’s also ideal with aged cheeses, charcuterie, and even a touch of dark chocolate for dessert.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Produced by Coto de Imaz, this Gran Reserva is crafted from a careful selection of Tempranillo grapes, sourced from the best vineyards in the Rioja Alta sub-region. The wine undergoes a meticulous aging process, spending 24 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels followed by a further 36 months of bottle aging to achieve its exceptional complexity. The result is a wine that combines power with elegance, reflecting the craftsmanship and tradition of the Rioja region.
