Vinification
The Tempranillo grapes were fermented in the winery at Oyón, in stainless-steel, temperature-controlled tanks. Once fermentation was complete, malolactic fermentation occurred. The wine was then aged for a minimum of 12 months in 225L American oak barrels and a further six months in bottle before release. This extra six months in bottle isn't required by law, however El Coto feel it enhances both the flavours and style of the wine.
Flavour profile
