El Coto was founded in 1970 in Rioja Alavesa and has grown from humble beginnings into one of the best known and most awarded wineries in the region. Today El Coto has over 700 hectares of vineyard in production across the three Rioja DOCa sub-zones of Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja. This makes them the largest vineyard owner in Rioja, giving them complete control at every stage of production and allowing them to be very quality focused year after year.
The 2012 Gran Reserva (“a Rioja of innate drama”) was awarded 97 points and Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards in 2019. The 2011 ‘Coto Real’ – a blend of old vine Tempranillo with a little Mazuelo and Garnacha – took home the IWSC Rioja Trophy in 2016.
