Twelve areas, one philosophy
The wine house
Artisans of wine
Twelve small wineries. Each with a specific purpose. Twelve parts of a process connected to each other by the knowledge, the work and the hand of man. The sum of all this is El Coto de Rioja. A wine cellar for great Rioja wines.
Attention to detail
An ordered set, a perfect meshing
Each process in the development of the wine is carried out with the utmost care. That is why El Coto de Rioja is organized as if it were twelve small wineries. Each one with the optimum conditions for its job, where each part of the process is handled independently.
The vinification is carried out in small tanks that do not exceed 50,000 liters and all our red wines are aged in oak barrels, which are replaced annually. This is the only way
renuevan. Sólo así es posible conseguir que el trabajo en el viñedo dé el fruto que realmente queremos.
to ensure that the work in the vineyard produces the results we really want.
The greatness of things lies in the small details. The small details are the essence of El Coto de Rioja.

Valentín Cuervo
The most recent construction in El Coto de Rioja. It is the lungs of the winery. It houses the already aged wine, destined to its subsequent ageing in the bottle.
5
Production
Tempranillo
Winery for the reception and selection of the grapes for the production of our Crianzas and Coto Real. This is where the fermentations are performed, prior to ageing in oak barrels.
6 and 7
Wine racks
Julio Noaín and Jesús Goya
In these cellars our wines are patiently waiting in the bottle to reach their maximum expression. The D.O.Ca. Rioja establishes minimum periods of refinement, that in El Coto de Rioja we prolong until we find each wine’s peak.
8
Production of white wines
Mª Cristina García Morales
One of the key assets of El Coto de Rioja is that it has a winery dedicated exclusively to the production of white wines. This winery, together with the planting of the new white varieties authorized in Finca Carbonera, the vineyard at the highest altitude in the denomination, makes El Coto de Rioja, one of the major drivers of the whites from D.O.Ca. Rioja.

With a stillness and sublime silence, here our Crianza wines receive the contributions and nuances of oak wood.
