Beronia Crianza Rioja - Item Code: 05396
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Beronia Crianza Rioja greets the palate with a smooth, approachable character that makes it ideal for relaxed dinners or festive gatherings. With an ABV of 13.5%, this Spanish red is crafted in the heart of Rioja using traditional methods, including aging in mixed French and American oak barrels to enhance complexity while preserving freshness. The wine’s roots in Spain’s celebrated Rioja region shine through its balance and structure.
In each glass, you’ll find vibrant notes of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle vanilla layered with hints of spice and cocoa from its careful oak aging. These flavors create a harmonious match for roasted lamb, where the wine’s gentle tannins complement the meat’s richness without overpowering it. Beronia Crianza also pairs beautifully with Manchego cheese, as its fruit-forward profile lifts the cheese’s nutty depth for a satisfying finish.
Producer Information: Beronia
Beronia is based in the heart of Spain’s Rioja region, specifically in Ollauri, La Rioja Alta. The winery was founded in 1973 by a group of friends from the Basque Country who shared a passion for gastronomy and fine wine. Beronia’s production approach centers on combining traditional Rioja winemaking techniques with innovative practices, such as using mixed oak barrels to impart unique flavors and complexity to their wines. Their commitment to sustainable viticulture and careful vineyard management ensures that each bottle reflects the character of its terroir.
Beyond their classic Rioja reds made primarily from Tempranillo grapes, Beronia offers a diverse portfolio that includes varietals like Graciano, Mazuelo, Garnacha, and Viura for whites. They also produce limited-edition single varietal wines and reserve selections that highlight specific vineyard plots or aging methods. In addition to still wines, Beronia has expanded into producing vermouths crafted with local botanicals and fortified base wines. Their range appeals to both traditionalists seeking age-worthy Gran Reservas and modern consumers interested in fresh whites or innovative blends from one of Spain’s most respected wine houses.
