Founded in 1985, Baron de Ley is a single-estate winery located in Rioja Baja focusing on high quality Reserva and Gran Reserva wines. Based on the “Chateau” concept, grapes are sourced exclusively from the property’s estate vineyards. This is an innovative step in a region where bodegas typically source grapes from independent growers throughout the area. Baron de Ley's unique personality blends the best of old and new. Located on the grounds of a 16th century monastery on the east bank of the river Ebro in Mendavia, the estate covers 175 acres planted primarily to Tempranillo, and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Quality and attention to detail are an obsession at Baron de Ley, where the ancient architecture belies the latest winemaking equipment. A look inside the old monastery reveals immaculate and efficient facilities, housing high-tech temperature controlled steel tanks, 10,000 new oak barrels, and a 5-million-bottle cellar. In 2004, the winery purchased an additional 500 parcels of land, resulting in a 1200 acre estate that will be planted with Tempranillo as well as Garnacha, Graciano and experimental varieties such as Maturana. This project is a strong testament to the estate’s desire to continue to control all levels of winemaking, from vine to bottle.
Hand harvest of this grape protects its integrity. Direct and light pressing of the whole grapes, including the stems, is a natural extraction process, known as teardrop or lagrima in Spanish. This ensures minimum contact between the must and the skins, hence resulting the pale pink colour, as well as the freshness and long finish, characteristic of this wine. On the nose, it is complex and clean with white blossom aromas beautifully enhanced by hints of balsamic and ripe red fruits. The palate is luscious, fresh and mineral, all perfectly balanced.
