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.

Description

Tasty stew, perfect for using up leftovers.

Method

1
1. Preheat oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4

2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 2 litre flameproof casserole pot, then fry the onion and the garlic until soft.

3. Add the beef chunks and the flour and stir until the mixture is coated. Slowly ass the stock, then the wine or stout ale if using, allowing the flour to thicken the sauce a little. Add the borlotti beans, cherry tomatoes and carrots and cook for 1½ hours.

4. Add the potatoes, making sure they are covered in stock, then cook for another 1 hour until the stew is piping hot throughout. Serve immediately for a warming meal-in-one that really makes the most of your roast beef leftovers
