Viña Coterro
2021 Rioja Reserva
BLEND | 100% Tempranillo
VINEYARDS | Sourced from estate vineyards with an average age of 50 years.
WINEMAKING | Primary fermentation in stainless steel followed by malolactic in concrete tanks and 18 months aging in French & American oak.
TASTING NOTES | Bold blackberry, cherry and dark plum fruit flavors abound in this solid, energetic wine. The extended barrel aging is apparent with the hints of vanilla, tobacco and light roast coffee and gentle tannic structure. While full, plump and weighty, there is a beam of core acidity that gives the wine energy and lift with a long, smoky finish shaped by smooth, even tannins.
PRESS | 90 JS
"Traditional and reserved nose featuring spiced plums, dried citrus and an earthy undertone. Medium-bodied, with firm, nicely grippy tannins and a medium-length finish. While not overly complex, this Rioja is well-balanced. Drink now."
