Viña Coqueta Reserva 2018, crafted by Remírez de Ganuza in Samaniego, reflects the excellence of Rioja Alavesa. From the exclusive Viña Coqueta, planted in 1975, this wine is made with meticulous selection. Hand harvesting, followed by cooling to 4–6 °C, prepares the bunches for careful selection and fermentation in stainless steel and concrete. With a composition of 92% Tempranillo, 6% Garnacha, and 2% Graciano, the wine ages for 24 months in French oak barrels, combining 20% new and 80% second-use barrels. The result is a structured and complex wine, with a limited production of 9,525 bottles, bottled in May 2021. On tasting, its garnet color with ruby highlights, intense aromas of jammy fruit, and balsamic notes are appreciated. On the palate, it is broad with a fruity and spicy profile. Ideal to pair with lamb, red and grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses, its ideal serving temperature is between 16 and 17 °C.
