Coto de Imaz Rioja Reserva 2016
The Coto de Imaz Rioja Reserva is made from pure Tempranillo grapes sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. The bush vines are aged between 35 to 55 years old and are low yielding, producing grapes with superb concentration of flavour balanced by vibrant acidity. Only the finest grapes are used in the Coto de Imaz wines. The wine was aged in new American oak barrels for 18 months before the final blend was assembled and bottled. After this, the wine was aged for a further 24 months in bottle before release. The Coto de Imaz Rioja Reserva is intense cherry in colour with a hint of ageing at the rim. On the nose, it has ripe red fruits accompanied by hints of cocoa from the new American oak. On the palate, the wine is velvety and round, with smooth tannins and good acidity. The finish is balanced and long.
