Beronia Verdejo Rueda 2020 750 ML

Beronia is renowned for its Rioja Alta vineyards, its gastronomic origins and its innovative barrel program. Beronia is located in Ollauri, at the heart of Rioja Alta, with the highest elevation of the three areas in Rioja. The area is influenced by both the Atlantic and Mediterranean and has a mix of clay and chalky soils. Beronia wines are defined by the region and the soils, and its name is linked to the history of the area. During the 3rd Century BC the region was inhabited by the

‘berones’, a Celtic tribe who called the area ‘Beronia’. The winery was founded in 1973 by a group of friends from the Basque country who wanted the best wine to accompany their gastronomic get-togethers (Txoko in Basque). The winery is surrounded by 20 hectares of own vineyards. The technical team at Beronia also control 870 hectares of vineyards within a 10km radius of the winery, enabling them to exercise optimum control over the quality. Beronia’s blend is led by Tempranillo, and complemented by Graciano, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Viura. Sustainable agriculture is practiced at every level with certain vineyards certified organic. The role of oak is key to the Beronia style. The winemaker and his team are constantly studying how the wines react to different levels of toasting and types of wood. These experiments have led to Beronia’s pioneering development of mixed barrels; produced from American oak staves and French oak tops.
