About Coto de Imaz Gran Reserva
Coto de Imaz Gran Reserva is a red wine from Rioja produced by El Coto de Rioja, a winery that was founded in 1970 by a group of individuals with standing and experience in the wine world.
The winery is located in Oyón (Álava). The climate in this area is moderate continental with a large Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay influence, although the Sierra de Cantabria acts as a natural barrier and protects the vines from cold winds from the north. This wine is a varietal Tempranillo from own vineyards planted on different types of soil: clay-limestone, clay-ferrous and alluvial. As for processing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 21 or 30 days and then performed a maceration to obtain a balanced wine and fruit extract. Finally, Coto de Imaz Grand Reserve remains a minimum of 24 months in American and French oak barrels and 36 months in bottle.
