COTO DE IMAZ GRAN RESERVA RIOJA 2017

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were sorted, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 22-27°C and lasted for around 21 to 30 days. After malolactic fermentation in tank, the wines were transferred into a mixture of French and American oak (75% new) for a minimum of 24 months, followed by 36 months ageing in bottle prior to release.

This wine is a brilliant ruby colour, with russet tones. On the nose, there are aromas of toast and coconut followed by tertiary aromas including leather and a noticeable earthiness. The palate is fruit forward with distinct red berry and dried fruit characteristics, alongside a hint of oak-derived spice. It is rounded with silky tannins and finishes with a persistent and complex aftertaste.
