Wines to gift a friend and impress them with something unique
The success of a great gift lies in the details. Gifting wine to that friend you always share a glass with is always a good choice, but deciding which one is perfect can be a bit tricky. That’s why we are introducing four exceptional wines from Barón de Ley that are sure to impress even the most discerning wine lover.
While personal preferences play a role, some wines have qualities that captivate everyone. At Barón de Ley, we offer a wide range of wines for every taste, but today we’re focusing on four standout reds that will undoubtedly surprise your friend of "Ley."

Martín Zurbano: A Modern, Fresh, and Fruity Crianza
Made from Tempranillo and Garnacha, this Crianza is aged for one year in American and French oak barrels, resulting in a bright cherry-red wine with a clean, medium layer.
On the nose, floral and red fruit notes dominate, with a touch of creamy oak in the background. On the palate, it’s fruity, balanced, and fresh, thanks to the blend of grape varieties and its oak aging. This combination creates a wine that is both complex and easy to drink.
Martín Zurbano is highly versatile, pairing perfectly with any meal: from simple appetizers and elaborate tapas to rice dishes, fish, or white meats. Our suggestion? Pair it with a cheese platter and a seafood paella for an unforgettable experience.
This wine is named after the Spanish liberal military leader who managed the estate from 1839 to 1845 thanks to his war achievements.

Barón de Ley Gran Reserva: The Timeless Classic
A careful selection of grapes from the best vineyards brings this Gran Reserva to life, made from Tempranillo and Graciano. The combination of traditional harvesting methods with innovative processes ensures the highest quality.
The wine is aged for at least 24 months in American and French oak barrels, followed by more than 36 months in the bottle. This extended aging gives it a ruby-red color and an extraordinary complexity and elegance on the palate.
On the nose, ripe red fruit, saffron, and tobacco notes blend with a balsamic background, making this Gran Reserva a complex and refined choice. Balanced and round on the palate, it pairs perfectly with red meats.
This award-winning wine has earned numerous international distinctions, including accolades from the International Wine Challenge, Decanter World Wine Awards, and James Suckling.

Finca Monasterio: An Iconic Red Wine
Finca Monasterio, where the Benedictine order began planting vineyards and producing wine in 1568, holds a special place in the origins of Barón de Ley.
Made from Tempranillo grapes grown close to the winery, this wine benefits from extraordinary care. After harvesting, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
This deep, cherry-red wine reveals black fruit compote on the nose, complemented by spicy and balsamic aging notes. On the palate, it is powerful and complex yet fresh.
The perfect pairing for this iconic wine includes grilled red meats, stews, and game. For example, a beef stew with potatoes and vegetables.

Barón de Ley 7 Viñas Tinto Reserva: A Tribute to Biodiversity
Finally, we present Barón de Ley Siete Viñas Tinto Reserva, a wine made from the best native grapes cultivated in Barón de Ley’s four estates. As the name suggests, it features seven varieties with different ripening times and temperatures: Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha Tinta, Garnacha Blanca, Mazuelo, Viura, and Malvasía.
Each variety is aged in different barrels for 36 months, followed by 12 additional months in French oak foudres at the monastery cellar. The result is a brilliant purple wine.
On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe berries, violets, and roses, with hints of spices and vanilla. The palate is elegant, balanced, and richly nuanced. This “Total Rioja” has also won several awards.
Our pairing suggestion? A juicy beef tenderloin with potatoes. However, this versatile wine is also perfect for enjoying on its own.
