Tempranillo grapes are mainly picked from Cenicero’s vineyards,where the direction of the slopes,the aged vines and the Atlantic climate are perfect for this style of wine. The wines mature for two years in casks,half of which is French oak and the other half in American oak. It takes another three years in the bottle to mature further. The result is an aristocrat,that you can always expect a lot from.

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.
