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.

Let customers speak for us
We hebben hemmin Maastricht leren kennen en laten hem niet meer los. Een volle wijn die in balans is. We proeven zachte tonen van abrikoos en perzik maar ook de frisheid van citrus. Het beetje aards, mineralig maakt hem
Interessant.
Wij vinden hem erg lekker bij een risotto met zeevruchten.
Goede service, maar onze intercommen liggen eruit dus de bezorger kon niet bellen, toen de dichtstbijzijnde afleveradres Lidl,
Maar hele klus om zware doos te vervoeren, daarom maar een winkelwagen meegenomen.
Very tasty kosher wine, exactly my taste. Fast delivery, would definitely order again!
Een heerlijk zoete rode wijn uit Israël voor Avondmaalsvieringen. Ook lekker voor mensen die nooit drinken
Zie boven.
Het is heerlijke koshere druivensap voor Shabbat.
Habe jetzt das 2te mal hier bestellt und es lief wie beim ersten Mal alles super, danke
Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, rundum ein zuverlässiger Händler!
Empfehle ich gerne weiter.
wel even lucht geven en niet al te koud drinken. heerlijk bij de dis of tapas, maar voor zomaar ook heerlijk.
Kan bij bijna alles, maar is los ook erg lekker. (en met een zak chips -hoe oneerbieding - ook zo op) ;-)
Wel even een beetje lucht geven (goede decateren - kan een beetje droesem hebben), deze wijn is in het begin wat verlegen, maar met een beetje aanmoediging een echte gangmaker.
