Beronia 2019 Rioja Reserva

The 2019 vintage in Rioja was marked by favorable weather conditions, with a mild spring and a warm, dry summer that allowed for optimal ripening. The result was a relatively early harvest of healthy grapes showing excellent balance between sugar and acidity, along with great phenolic maturity.

Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions:
The 2019 Beronia Reserva opens with classic aromas of black cherry, dried plum, cedar, and sweet tobacco, supported by subtle notes of vanilla, clove, and leather. On the palate, it’s medium- to full-bodied with a velvety texture, offering rich flavors of ripe red berries, baking spices, licorice, and a hint of smoke. Firm yet silky tannins and a fresh core of acidity lead to a long, savory finish with lingering notes of cocoa, earth, and dried herbs.
Serve at 17–18°C (63–65°F) in large red wine glasses after decanting for 30–60 minutes, especially if drinking the wine young. Ideal food pairings include grilled lamb chops, chorizo-stuffed peppers, braised short ribs, or aged Manchego cheese. Enjoy now with air or cellar confidently for 8–12 years to see its earthy, tertiary character evolve beautifully.
