Tasting Notes
Deep cherry red with ruby highlights. Expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums on the nose, layered with notes of vanilla, sweet spice, toasted cocoa, and subtle hints of cedar from the oak. Smooth, fresh, and well-balanced on the palate with silky tannins, vibrant fruit, and a long, elegant finish. Beronia is known for its innovative mixed oak barrels — American staves with French oak ends — producing a distinctive Rioja character since 1973.
