El Coto Blanco is a white wine from Rioja produced by the El Coto de Rioja winery. Founded in 1970, the winery is located in the town of Oyón (álava).
The El Coto de Rioja winery have more than 700ha of vineyards, one of the largest cellars of La Rioja in this sense.
El Coto Blanco is a blend of Viura, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo. The grapes come from vineyards grown in the Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, two of the three sub-areas that divides the DO Rioja.
For processing the grapes, once they have reached the winery, they are protected from oxidation by a curtain of carbonic gas.
Subsequently, a press takes place in pneumatic presses and racking and cleaning of musts at low temperatures is performed. With these clean musts, fermentation takes place at a low temperature in the presence of selected yeasts.
Since its beginnings in 1970, the winery El Coto de Rioja has followed a policy of constant reinvestment that has not only meant doubling the size of its facilities, but also significantly increasing the extension of its own vineyard and the number of barrels for the ageing of its wines. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art technology has managed to harmonise the dimension, production volume and quality of the products with the aim of producing more and also achieving continuous improvements in their quality levels.
