In Northern Spain there is a long standing tradition of gastronomic societies, known locally as txokos, where friends meet to cook and share their passion for fine food and drink. In the 1970s one such group of friends formed a txoko in the small town of Ollauri in Rioja Alta. Unsatisfied with the wine on offer at the time, they decided to start their own winery to make wines worthy of partnering their culinary achievements. The result was multi award-winning Rioja winery, Bodegas Beronia.

Regional information: Our winery is proudly located in the Rioja Alta sub-region, home to the highest number of century-old wineries in Europe. Tucked in the foothills of the Cantabrian mountains and close to the river Ebro, nature's influence helps to shape the exquisite character of our fruit. Warm Spanish days and soft Mediterranean breezes are followed by dramatically cooler nights. This allows our grapes to ripen slowly and evenly over time, giving them the complexity needed to produce our elegantly complex wines. The structure and variety of these ancient soils have produced unique wines for thousands of years.

Tasting notes: Soft tannins weave through the lush black fruit base, balanced by notes of cacao, roasted hazelnut and a touch of pepper.

Vinification details: Beronia Reserva is made from a selection of the best grapes from the oldest Tempranillo vines, plus some Graciano and Mazuelo. After a spell undergoing cold pre-fermentation maceration and controlled fermentation with periodic pumping over to extract the desired colour and aromas, the wine spent 18 months in mixed French and American oak barrels to create the unmistakable Beronia Style. Lastly the wine was left to rest in the bottle a further 18 months before being released to the market.
