    • Description

      The Barón de Ley Rioja Blanco is a modern, crisp white wine from the Rioja DOCa in northern Spain. This elegant blend combines the classic Viura grape with Garnacha Blanca and Tempranillo Blanco, among others, resulting in a wine with great freshness, aromatic expression, and a creamy texture. Thanks to its lively acidity and fruity character, this Rioja Blanco is a versatile wine that excels both as an aperitif and with food.

      Grapefruit, lime, green herbs, and white flowers

      The wine has a clear, pale yellow color with a green shimmer. The nose reveals fresh aromas of grapefruit, lime, and white flowers, complemented by characteristic notes of dill, coriander, and other green herbs. The palate is vibrant and elegant, with juicy citrus, white fruit, a subtle creaminess, and a fresh, mineral finish that remains beautifully balanced.

      Cool fermentation and aging on fine lees

      The different grape varieties are fermented separately to optimally preserve their unique character. A portion ferments in stainless steel tanks and another portion in concrete vats. Afterwards, the individual wines are aged for at least three months on their fine lees (sur lie), which adds extra depth and a soft, creamy texture without losing the fresh character.

      Perfect with fish, shellfish, and Asian dishes

      This Rioja Blanco is an excellent companion to grilled fish, shellfish, seafood pastas, fresh salads, and light rice dishes. Its fresh character and aromatic style also beautifully complement mildly spicy dishes from Thai, Mexican, and Indian cuisines.
