Description
The Barón de Ley Gran Reserva Rioja is a classic Gran Reserva from the Rioja DOCa, made from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes from old vineyards in Rioja Alta. This prestigious wine is only produced in the best vintages. Thanks to a long maturation period in both American and French oak barrels, followed by several years in the bottle, it develops impressive complexity, refined elegance, and an exceptionally long finish. This wine is also vegan
Ripe dark fruit, spices, leather, tobacco, and toast
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby red color with slight garnet nuances. The aroma is rich and layered with notes of ripe red and dark fruit, followed by refined hints of spices, leather, tobacco, lavender, ginger, and subtly integrated oak. The taste is full-bodied and rounded, yet remarkably fresh and lively. The long finish is characterized by notes of dried fruit, toast, and delicate spices.
24 months in oak and 3 years in bottle
The grapes are hand-harvested from old Tempranillo vineyards in Cenicero, Rioja Alta. After traditional fermentation, the wine matures for a minimum of 24 months in barriques made of 50% American and 50% French oak. This is followed by over three years of bottle aging, allowing the wine to develop its characteristic finesse, soft tannins, and complex aromas.
Perfect with game, grilled red meat, and aged cheeses
This Gran Reserva truly shines with grilled beef, leg of lamb, roasted pork ribs, venison, saddle of hare, and other game dishes. It also forms an excellent combination with aged hard cheeses and blue cheeses. Thanks to its complex character, it is also wonderful to simply enjoy on its own.

Let customers speak for us
We hebben hemmin Maastricht leren kennen en laten hem niet meer los. Een volle wijn die in balans is. We proeven zachte tonen van abrikoos en perzik maar ook de frisheid van citrus. Het beetje aards, mineralig maakt hem
Interessant.
Wij vinden hem erg lekker bij een risotto met zeevruchten.
Goede service, maar onze intercommen liggen eruit dus de bezorger kon niet bellen, toen de dichtstbijzijnde afleveradres Lidl,
Maar hele klus om zware doos te vervoeren, daarom maar een winkelwagen meegenomen.
Very tasty kosher wine, exactly my taste. Fast delivery, would definitely order again!
Een heerlijk zoete rode wijn uit Israël voor Avondmaalsvieringen. Ook lekker voor mensen die nooit drinken
Zie boven.
Het is heerlijke koshere druivensap voor Shabbat.
Habe jetzt das 2te mal hier bestellt und es lief wie beim ersten Mal alles super, danke
Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, rundum ein zuverlässiger Händler!
Empfehle ich gerne weiter.
wel even lucht geven en niet al te koud drinken. heerlijk bij de dis of tapas, maar voor zomaar ook heerlijk.
Kan bij bijna alles, maar is los ook erg lekker. (en met een zak chips -hoe oneerbieding - ook zo op) ;-)
Wel even een beetje lucht geven (goede decateren - kan een beetje droesem hebben), deze wijn is in het begin wat verlegen, maar met een beetje aanmoediging een echte gangmaker.
