Baron de Ley Club Privado Reserva Rioja

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.

Method

1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan, add the red onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the spices and cook for a further minute, then add the sugar, stir for a few minutes before adding the balsamic vinegar.

Once the onions have reached a jammy consistency add the Worcestershire sauce, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until thickened. Add the diced Mrs Elswood cucumber spears with dill 10 minutes before the end of the simmering time.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool, transfer to a bowl and serve cold.
