An excellent wine for game, red meat and strong cheeses

Museum Reserve grapes are selectively harvested by hand, and re-selected on the sorting table in the cellar. The rachis were removed and the crushed grapes fermented at 29 °C for 21 days. The Museum Reserva wine was matured for 22 months in new French oak casks and further in a bottle for twelve months. The wine is unfiltered, so it is aromatic and some sediment may be present. The taste is all the more rich.

Producer story

Finca Museum was born as Grupo Barón de Ley expanded beyond Rioja. After an extensive search, in the early 2000s, they found an area capable of producing high-quality wine at a reasonable cost: Cigales. The vineyards at Finca Museum span 185 hectares and present a stunning sight with sparsely planted, old vines amidst rocky terrain. Additionally, the estate oversees 60 hectares of contract farming. Inland, the winters are cold and the summers are hot, with temperature variations between day and night reaching up to 20°C. This ensures good acidity for the Tinta del Pais grape, the local name for Tempranillo. The rocks in the vineyards absorb heat during the day, reflect light onto the vines, and at night, they regulate the temperature, reducing the sharp fluctuations. These conditions are excellent for producing quality, and everything necessary is done in both the vineyard and the cellar to uphold this standard. Hand-harvesting, cutting-edge technology, and skilled winemakers result in exhibition-worthy wines, which are given sufficient time in barrels and bottles to develop and become enjoyable.
