Product Information

If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. The Beronia portfolio celebrates the long-standing traditions of the Rioja region, while paving way for a sustainable future. Reserva wines get a year in oak and minimum two years in bottle while the region's finest wines, Rioja Gran Reserva, cannot be released until they have undergone five years ageing, two of which will be in oak. The fruit-driven palate is balanced with smooth tannins, good acidity and a touch of vanilla and cinnamon coming from the 6 months aging in oak barrels. The influence of the Atlantic and the minerals from the Ebro river convert this area into a privileged area for the cultivation of the vine.

After a one-year break, the wine goes into mixed barrels, with staves of American oak and French oak bottoms that help the Beronia acquire its distinctive aging aromas. Following harvest, the grapes underwent cold maceration for a few days so as to extract aromas and colour however not tannins. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.
