BERONIA RIOJA ELABORACION ESP 20

Details

Beronia was founded in 1973 by a group of businessmen, friends from the Basque country who would come to La Rioja on holiday. The friends had a great love of food and wine and created their own gastronomic society, or txoko as it is called locally, in the area. They decided, to produce their own wines to enjoy with the local cuisine, specializing in Reserva and Gran Reserva style wines. The winery was integrated into the Gonzalez Byass Family of Wine group in 1982 and began an expansion into international markets. Today Beronia is one of the most renowned Spanish wineries both in international and domestic markets, producing pure and traditional Rioja wines with their own personality and Beronia style

Tasting Notes:
This wine has a unique production whereby alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in American oak barrels. The wine is then aged for a further 5 months in these barrels with regular batonage. The barrels has an extremely special toast, medium toast for a long time at a very low temperature, in order to obtain the perfect marriage with the Tempranillo variety. Attractive on the nose with aromas typical of the Tempranillo variety, rose petals, red fruit and liquorice accompanied by mineral notes and sweet spice. On the palate notable presence of fruit and liquorice combined perfectly with the chocolate note from the American oak giving a mocha character. Perfect with smoked and salted dishes, red meat, roasts and Iberian cured meats.
