Beronia Vareia Singular Vinyard - Rioja Spain
The wine is garnet and is very deep. Complex on the nose, it displays aromas of red fruits, liquorice and rose petals, typical of Tempranillo, over a background of cocoa and spices. On the palate it is a full-bodied, balanced and well-structured wine that expresses all the virtues of a great Tempranillo from Rioja.
The grapes are harvested by hand in order to avoid mechanical damage. The grapes are refrigerated for 24 hours and undergo optical selection to separate only the grapes that are in the best condition. Cold pre- fermentation maceration for a few days, alcoholic fermentation below 26 oC with periodic pumping over and post-fermentation maceration. This wine was aged for 11 months in new 3,400-litre French oak foudres. After this period, it was aged for 7 months in the bottle until release.
Wine from a Singular Vineyard. VAREIA BERONIA, the plot from which it comes, was planted in 1950.
It is a plantation of 1.6 hectares in clayey-calcareous soil with pebbles, excellent drainage and poor substrate, which results in low yields. The conditions in this vineyard mean that Vareia Beronia, which is produced in our new winery, is an authentic expression of the terroir.
