El Coto Rioja Blanco 2025
Crafted by El Coto, this refreshing Spanish white wine blends traditional Viura grapes with a splash of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc grown in chilly, high-altitude mountain vineyards. These breezy hilltops slow down the ripening of the fruit, packing the grapes with an incredibly bright, mouth-watering freshness. Because the winemakers keep the juice strictly in cool steel tanks and completely avoid any wood barrels, the wine retains its pure, energetic fruit character straight into your glass. The result is a bright, clear pour bursting with straightforward flavours of crunchy green apple, juicy peach, and fresh citrus zip, leading into a crisp, bone-dry finish. This lively Rioja Blanco is a brilliant choice for casual weekend drinking, using its clean, sharp profile to slice right through oils and fats. It makes a spectacular match for simple, everyday meals like pan-fried white fish, charred halloumi, or a fresh garden salad loaded with salty feta.
