The winery owns 90 hectares of vineyards situated around a former monastery on the left bank of the Ebro River. This specific wine is the Baron de Ley Reserva from the 1995 vintage. The 1995 harvest is recognized as an excellent year in the region, described as classic, and this vintage achieved a score of 91 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated in northern Spain, Rioja is the country's most historic and famous wine region, holding the highest quality classification, DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada). The region stretches along the Ebro River valley and is geographically protected by the Cantabrian Mountains to the north, which shield the vineyards from cold and wet Atlantic winds, and the Demanda mountain range to the south. Rioja's modern winemaking history was significantly shaped by French winemakers in the 19th century, establishing a long-standing tradition of oak aging, which defines classifications such as Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva. The terroir is highly diverse, featuring a mix of calcareous clay, ferrous clay, and alluvial deposits with river stones in the valley bottoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foundation of this Reserva is Tempranillo, Spain's primary grape variety, which is widely cultivated in regions like Rioja and Ribera del Duero. To create a distinct style for the estate, Baron de Ley supplements the traditional Tempranillo with 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is globally recognized for producing structured red wines and is typically grown in renowned areas such as Bordeaux, Tuscany, and California. This specific blend maintains the fundamental character of the Rioja appellation while incorporating the structural qualities of both grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baron de Ley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57684181582150,"sku":null,"price":135.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1738_e807df1a-ea2e-4ca9-83bf-68278ff2f0c3.jpg?v=1792747940","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/rioja-baron-de-ley-1995","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
