Baron de Ley Reserva 2006 Rioja 6 bottles
Baron de Ley Reserva 2006 Rioja 6 bottles. Baron de Ley has already earned a reputation as a producer of tasty, modern, good value Rioja. Intent on producing wines of quality, with a Bordeaux model in mind, the proprietors acquired the Imas Estate, on the banks of the River Ebro, in the early 1980s.
As with the vast majority of Rioja oak ageing is an important part of the elevage of the wine. At Baron de Ley a combination of French and American oak barrels are used, although the majority of the 11000 barrels used are American, as is the norm with many Riojan producers. Increasingly, however, French oak from Alliers has been used. No doubt this reflects the changing style of wine being produced by many 'new wave' Riojan producers. According to regulations for Rioja, oak ageing consists of 12 months for Reserva wines and 24 months for the Gran Reservas. Baron de Ley wines continue their ageing in accordance with Riojan regulations in the Baron de Ley buildings, which can house up to four million bottles of the Reserva wine.
