Description
The Barón de Ley Finca Monasterio Rioja 2022 is Barón de Ley's iconic flagship model and is one of the finest red wines from Rioja. The wine comes from the vineyards surrounding the historic 16th-century Benedictine monastery where the winery originated. A carefully composed blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo produces a powerful, elegant wine with great concentration, ripe fruit, and an impressive length. This wine is also vegan.
Blackcurrants, licorice, coffee, and dark chocolate
The wine has a deep dark purple color that immediately reveals its intensity. The aroma is dominated by ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, followed by notes of coffee, licorice, cocoa, roasted herbs, and subtle balsamic tones. The taste is full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated, with velvety tannins, a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and oak influences, and a long, elegant finish where chocolate, spices, and dark fruit linger.
Manual harvest and aging in French oak
After a very strict selection, the grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in small crates. Only the best grapes are processed. Fermentation takes place in specially designed tanks, after which the wine ages for approximately fifteen months in 275-liter French oak barrels, half of which are new. Subsequently, the wine receives additional rest in large French oak foudres, allowing it to develop more complexity without the oak dominating.
Perfect with grilled beef, game, and stews
This powerful Rioja is at its best with grilled sirloin, côte de boeuf, rack of lamb, game dishes, slow-cooked stews, and other rich meat dishes. It also forms an excellent combination with aged hard cheeses. Thanks to its refined structure, it is also a wonderful wine to enjoy quietly without a meal.
Barón de Ley
Barón de Ley was founded in 1985 around a former Benedictine monastery in Rioja. Unlike many Rioja producers, the winery works almost exclusively with grapes from its own vineyards. This gives Barón de Ley complete control over the quality, from vineyard to bottle. Finca Monasterio is considered the flagship of the winery and perfectly demonstrates how power, elegance, and modern Rioja craftsmanship come together.
Why choose Barón de Ley Finca Monasterio?
This wine is an excellent choice for lovers of powerful, complex Riojas with great depth. The combination of black fruit, licorice, coffee, chocolate, and refined oak influences creates an impressive wine that is already delicious but will continue to develop for years to come. A true gastronomic wine that belongs to the absolute top of Rioja.

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.
