Description
The Barón de Ley Reserva is a classic Rioja Reserva that beautifully combines power, elegance, and ripe fruit. This top Spanish wine is made from Tempranillo, Graciano, and Maturana grapes, sourced from their own vineyards in Rioja Oriental. Thanks to long aging in American oak and bottle, the wine develops impressive complexity while retaining its juicy fruit. The result is a full-bodied, creamy Rioja with a modern style and excellent aging potential.
Forest fruits, plums, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby red color. The aroma is enticing with notes of forest fruits, ripe plums, and black cherries, complemented by hints of cedar, vanilla, coffee, dark chocolate, and a touch of balsamic. The taste is full and creamy, with silky tannins, good concentration, and a long, elegant finish where fruit, spices, and wood are perfectly balanced.
20 months aging in American oak
The grapes are harvested by hand from Barón de Ley's own vineyards in Mendavia and Ausejo. After traditional fermentation, the wine ages for a minimum of twenty months in American oak barrels. This is followed by a long bottle aging of approximately two years, giving the wine extra harmony, complexity, and refinement. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Perfect with lamb, beef, and aged cheeses
This Rioja Reserva is an excellent companion to grilled beef, lamb, sirloin steak, stews, game, Iberian pork, and barbecue dishes. Its powerful yet elegant character also comes into its own with spicy hard cheeses and aged Manchego.
Barón de Ley
Barón de Ley was founded in 1985 around a former Benedictine monastery in Rioja. The winery is one of the few producers in the region that works almost exclusively with grapes from its own vineyards. This complete control over quality, combined with modern techniques and respect for Rioja tradition, has earned Barón de Ley an excellent international reputation. The Reserva is considered the winery's calling card.
Why choose Barón de Ley Reserva?
This wine is an excellent choice for lovers of classic Rioja with a modern appeal. The combination of ripe dark fruit, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and soft tannins creates a wine with great depth and elegance. Thanks to its long wood and bottle aging, it is delicious to drink immediately, but it will also develop beautifully in the coming years.

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.
