Baron de Ley Gran Reserva Rioja 2015

The Baron de Ley bodega specialises in Reserva and Gran Reserva-style Riojas and regularly wins awards for its wines. Rich alluvial soils form prized terroir, while precise hand-selection, careful vinification and 24 months ageing in top-quality barrels, followed by at least five years’ rest in bottle, all contribute to a wine of fine pedigree.

This Gran Reserva offers an attractive red ruby colour, starting to show some orange nuances in the border of the glass; a sign of its noble ageing. It delivers a remarkable aromatic intensity in the nose, displaying a bouquet of ripe fruits and raisin, integrated with a toasted and balsamic character. Finally, the after taste is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant freshness.
