Barón de Ley Varietales Graciano

Barón de Ley Varietales Graciano is a red wine from the D.O.C Rioja produced by the Barón de Ley winery (situated in Mendavia, Navarra). The winery was founded back in the 1980’s with the aim of producing classic style wines.

The winery is currently home to 400 hectares of vineyards situated across different zones of the D.O.C Rioja, with the different grape varieties adapting to the different microclimates of the DO, from the Alavesa to the Rioja Baja.

Barón de Ley Varietales Graciano is made exclusively with the Graciano grape, taken from the Almendros estate in Ausejo, in the Rioja Baja. The estate experiences a clear Mediterranean influence.

The winemaking process begins with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, which lasts for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 20º in the same tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in American oak barrels.

Barón de Ley Varietales Graciano is another example of how this grape adapts to hotter climates like that on the estate, resulting in a wine with a great juiciness without losing acidity and therefore freshness.
