Winemaker Notes
Balance, structure and versatility side by side in one of Bodegas Beronia's most representative wines.
Bright, cherry red with a bouquet of red fruits with hints of rosemary, cinnamon and thyme. On the palate, lively, red berry fruits, soft notes of vanilla and a hint of chocolate and coffee.
Vibrant and fresh, the Beronia Crianza is the perfect all rounder an easy fit with almost any dish, but equally happy just on its own.
Blend: 95% Tempranillo, 4% Garnacha, 1% Mazuelo

James Suckling
A lighter expression of Crianza with savory plummy fruit, red cherries and some spices. Juicy and elegant fruit in a medium body with just a hint of sweet spice in the end.

Wine Enthusiast
Dark violet-red in the glass, this wine has aromas of raspberry, dried thyme and mocha. Bold tannins are wrapped around purple plum, black cherry, caramel, butterscotch and aniseed that sail into a cherry-splashed finish.

Beronia: Rooted in Friendship
Beronia was founded in 1973 by a group of friends who had a mission to create great wines to complement their culinary creations. The flagship winery, one of the most sustainable in Europe, is located in La Rioja, one of the most important wine regions in Spain. The second winery, solely dedicated to the production of verdejo is located in Rueda, the home of this Spanish variety.
Beronia Rioja is located in the Rioja Alta village of Ollauri, where the River Ebro and Cantabrian mountains shape the land. Rooted in the region, the winery pays tribute to Los Berones, a celtic tribe who inhabited the region in 3rd Century BC, the origins of Rioja. Privileged to be part of two iconic Spanish wine regions, Rioja and Rueda, Beronia is committed to sustainability and finding the perfect balance between honoring local winemaking traditions while pioneering advance modern techniques to make the very best wines the land can produce.
Created by friends who loved food and wine, Beronia remains rooted in friendship, striving to bring people together around the table to enjoy good food, good wine and most importantly good company.
Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
