The Baron De Ley Gran Reserva is a sophisticated expression of Rioja’s elegance, complexity, and gracefulness. Crafted from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes sourced from old vineyards in Cenicero, Rioja Alta, this wine is a testament to the region’s ideal combination of Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influences, contributing to its elegant wines with aging capacity. The meticulous winemaking process involves manual harvest and selection, ensuring only the best grapes contribute to the wine’s quality. Aged for a minimum of 24 months in American and French oak casks and then for an additional 36 months in bottle, the Gran Reserva develops aromas of outstanding complexity and a smooth, velvety structure. The result is a wine with a lovely ruby-red color, medium depth, and slight brick-red hues, showcasing great aromatic intensity with hints of lavender, ginger, and saffron on the nose. The palate is round and balanced, featuring silky tannins while maintaining freshness and liveliness, leading to a long, lingering aftertaste with notes of toasted wood and dried fruits
