WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Baron de Ley Siete Viñas Reserva is produced using hand-harvested and meticulously selected grapes from the estate's vineyards. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a significant aging process, primarily in American oak barrels, which contributes to its characteristic flavor profile. This is followed by extended aging in bottle before release. The producer has also explored innovative fermentation techniques, such as using large oak fermenters.
