The Beronia La Rioja Tempranillo 2022 is a beautifully crafted wine from one of Spain’s most renowned wineries, Beronia. The grapes for this exceptional wine were harvested in October, ensuring optimal ripeness. After harvest, the grapes underwent cold maceration for several days to extract aromas and color, without imparting excessive tannins. Fermentation occurred at low temperatures, below 26ºC, with periodic pumping over to gently extract the best flavors. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 9 months in mixed oak barrels, with American staves and French tops, lending a subtle complexity to the wine.

In the glass, the Beronia Tempranillo 2022 displays a bright and intense strawberry color, accented by raspberry hues. The nose is immediately inviting, offering an intense bouquet of ripe strawberry and cherry, with a hint of mineral undertones that add depth to the profile. On the palate, the wine delivers a fresh and fruity sensation, with vibrant strawberry and cherry flavors harmonizing with a soft and rounded texture. The wine’s finesse and elegance shine through on the finish, leaving a pleasant and lingering fruit-driven aftertaste.

This certified organic Tempranillo is a fantastic expression of the Rioja region, showcasing both its fruit-forward character and its refined structure. Perfect for pairing with a range of Spanish dishes such as grilled meats, tapas, or paella, it also complements cheeses like Manchego or a charcuterie board.
