BARON DE LEY "Gran Reserva" 2017 - Rioja - Spain

Vintage: 2017

SP44

43 in stock

If there are styles of wine in the world that deserve the definition of “great classics”, without any doubt one of them are the Gran Reservas from Rioja where a great emphasis is put in the long ageing times to obtain a long lifespan and great complexity.
Lovely ruby-red with medium depth of colour and slight brick-red hues, the text-book definition of Rioja Gran Reservas. Great aromatic intensity on the nose, less fruit-driven, but generous aromatics of lavender, ginger and saffron. A round and balanced palate, displaying silky tannins while still remaining fresh and lively. The aftertaste is long and lingering, it offers hints of toasted wood and dried fruits.

How to pair it

This wine is enjoyed alongside a classic from Rioja cuisine, milk-fed lamb chops, which we grill over dried vine shoots. We also call this our “fireplace wine”, it can be slowly enjoyed on its own, with a cheese platter or Iberian hams.

Grapes grown in our Estate in Cenicero, where our oldest vines are located. The orientation of the slopes, the Atlantic climatic influence and the low yields from these vines result in the perfect grapes for this style of wine.

    Very smooth!

    Very smooth! Recommended by Hillview branch staff. It was on dine-in promo with Father's Day platter. Very smooth, medium body and has a pleasant fruity note. Very enjoyable red wine!

    Soft. Silky. Sweet note. Very easy to drink

    Surprisingly good. A wine worthy to always keep one or two in your wine chiller

    Good

    Aromatic intensity on the nose with notes of ripe fruit and a smoky and vanilla complexity. The palate is silky soft with hints of wild herbs, spice and toasted tones.
