Product Information
In Northern Spain there is a long standing tradition of gastronomic societies, known locally as txokos, where friends meet to cook and share their passion for fine food and drink. In the 1970s one such group of friends formed a txoko in the small town of Ollauri in Rioja Alta. Unsatisfied with the wine on offer at the time, they decided to start their own winery to make wines worthy of partnering their culinary achievements. The result was multi award-winning Rioja winery, Bodegas Beronia.

History
Bodegas Beronia is quintessentially Rioja. Its wines are defined by the region and the soils in which the vines are grown, and its name linked to the history of the land where the winery is found. In the 3rd Century BC the area known as Rioja today was inhabited by a celtic tribe called the ‘Berones’. They inhabited the towns of Tricio, Varea and Leiva, marking the limits of the Berones region, today La Rioja. The founding ethos of Beronia is strongly allied to the origins of La Rioja.

Regional information
Our winery is proudly located in the Rioja Alta sub-region, home to the highest number of century-old wineries in Europe. Tucked in the foothills of the Cantabrian mountains and close to the river Ebro, nature’s influence helps to shape the exquisite character of our fruit.
Warm Spanish days and soft Mediterranean breezes are followed by dramatically cooler nights. This allows our grapes to ripen slowly and evenly over time, giving them the complexity needed to produce our elegantly complex wines.
The structure and variety of these ancient soils have produced unique wines for thousands of years.

Tasting notes
Beronia Rioja Crianza
A smooth and rounded wine, with mouthwatering wild berry fruit characters, enhanced by subtle vanilla aromas from ageing in French and American oak barrels. Delicious with red meat and cheeses.
Beronia Rioja Reserva
Matured in French and American oak barrels. Intense flavours of black fruits, liquorice, chocolate and cloves with a touch of minerality. The classic partner for lamb and red meat dishes.
Beronia Rioja Gran Reserva
Matured in French oak barrels, and in bottle, for a minimum of 5 years. Vibrant aromas of plums, blueberries and figs. The oak and fruit are perfectly integrated with the flavours of sweet spices and clove. A smooth and elegant wine which is ideally matched with red meat and cheese.

Vinification details
After the careful harvest of our very best grapes, our Reserva begins its fermentation. This is a slow and controlled process, enabling all the colour and aroma from the grapes to be extracted. Over eighteen months in mixed French and American oak barrels, the wine gradually develops its trademark smoothness and complexity, furthered by spending eighteen months in bottle prior to release.
