Baron de Ley Blanco is a succulent blend of Viura, Tempranillo Blanco, and Garnacha Blanca grapes. The grape juice was fermented into wine in chilled stainless steel tanks at a low temperature of 14 - 15 °C, enhancing its fruitiness. A portion of the grapes was macerated, giving the wine added structure.

Dry, with medium acidity, citrus fruits, tropical and fruity, herbal.

Producer story

Bodegas Barón de Ley is a respected Spanish wine producer with over 1000 hectares of vineyards in the Rioja regions of Cenicero, Mendavia, Ausejo, and Carboneras. The headquarters of Barón de Ley is located in Mendavia, within a magnificent building complex constructed in 1548 by the Count of Eguía as his fortress and stronghold. Over the years, the estate transformed from a Benedictine monastery where monks raised sheep and produced wine under their command until 1836. Subsequently, the estate had several powerful owners. After various stages, the property returned to the ownership of Barón de Ley's founders in the 1980s.
