Made from 100% Tempranillo grown in the estate's own vineyards, it spends a minimum of three years maturing before release, with substantial time in American oak. The result is a wine with the vanilla-and-spice signature Rioja is loved for, but with fresher fruit and more immediate appeal than its Gran Reserva sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTom's Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The everyday Rioja that isn't an everyday price.

Ripe red fruit on the nose — raspberry and plum — lifted by sweet vanilla, baking spice and a hint of coconut from the American oak. The palate is smooth and well balanced with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a clean, gently spiced finish. Approachable straight from the bottle and very easy to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tempranillo | \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rioja DOCa, Spain | \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Coto de Rioja | \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl | \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA natural with red meat.

To carry the designation, a red wine must be aged for a minimum of three years before release, with at least one of those years spent in oak barrels. It sits above Crianza and below Gran Reserva in the hierarchy — a genuine mark of quality and time, not just marketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between Reserva and Gran Reserva?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime. A Reserva requires a minimum of three years' ageing with at least one year in oak. A Gran Reserva requires five years with at least two in oak, and is only declared in exceptional vintages. The Reserva shows fresher fruit and more immediate structure; the Gran Reserva is softer, more complex and more evolved. Both are excellent — the Reserva is the more versatile everyday choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat does it pair with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed meat above all. The vanilla and spice from American oak ageing work beautifully with grilled or pan-seared steak — sirloin and rump in particular. Also excellent with chorizo, roast lamb, tomato-based dishes and semi-cured cheeses like a young Manchego.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow should I serve it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16–18°C.
