Baron de Ley Finca Monasterio Reserva

The Château, a former Benedictine monastery from the 16th century, is located on the left side of the Ebro Valley in the middle of the 100 hectares of vineyards that were planted directly around the Château, so that the grapes have a short journey from the vine to the cellar. At Barón de Ley, only their own grapes are used, so it is an estate bottling. Furthermore, Barón de Ley has the authorization to grow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and blend them with the classic Tempranillo grapes. Finally, new barriques are always used for the multi-year wooden barrel aging. This helps the Barón de Ley wines achieve a new, international style that stands out clearly from that of the usual Rioja wines.

The Finca Monasterio presents itself in a deep, intense cherry-red color. Even before the glass is swirled, it reveals hints of roasted coffee, cinnamon, and clove, which are later complemented by cedar and nutmeg aromas. An expressive red, velvety, with a long finish.

The Bodega

Baron de Ley

Barón de Ley was founded in 1985 with a clear ambition: to plant a bodega in the DOCa Rioja modeled after the great Médoc châteaux — consistently focused on its own grapes and long aging. The house is based in Mendavia, in the Navarrese part of the Rioja, in a restored 16th-century Benedictine monastery.

Only Reserva and Gran Reserva wines are produced here — no Jóvenes, no Crianza, only wines that have been given time. The name says it all: "de ley" means something like genuine and righteous in Spanish — and that is exactly the standard in every bottle.
