El Coto de Rioja Blanco 750ml

El Coto de Rioja is part of the Barón de Ley group, and it's the same house behind the well-known El Coto Crianza. El Coto Blanco is its white Rioja.

The fruit comes from Rioja Alta and the estate's Finca Carbonera vineyard, which sits at 840 meters, the highest in DOC Rioja. It's led by Viura, with Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are chilled right after picking under inert gas, pneumatic pressed and fermented cold in stainless steel, with no oak. It's dry.

It's very fresh, with white-fruit aromas leading to bright citrus on the palate.

Against Marqués de Riscal Rueda Verdejo, El Coto Blanco is a lighter, unoaked white Rioja that costs less; for an under-$10 weeknight white, choose El Coto.

Serve it well chilled, 45 to 47°F, with grilled or baked fish and seafood.
