Liberty bolsters Spanish range

Liberty Wines has added Rioja winery El Coto de Rioja to its portfolio, taking over distribution from Cockburn & Campbell.

The estate is the largest in the entire Rioja DOC with 700 hectares of vineyard across the three sub-zones of Rioja Alta, Baja and Alavesa.

Victor Fuentes, international general manager of the group, commented: “We have had a long and successful relationship with Cockburn & Campbell, and would like to thank them for all they have done for El Coto over the past 25 years.

“Now, with all the changes happening in the wine business, it seemed the right time to move to someone like Liberty Wines who could extend our distribution through into different channels.”

David Gleave MW, managing director of Liberty Wines, says: “We are delighted to add El Coto de Rioja to our portfolio as the wines both complement and greatly strengthen our existing offering from Rioja.

“The breadth and depth of their vineyards is one of the most exciting things about El Coto, as it ensures consistency of supply and quality to our customers.  We look forward to building upon the work done by Cockburn & Campbell.”
