Beronia Viñas Viejas 2020 is a limited production wine made from a selection of the best tempranillos from vineyards over half a century old, personally chosen by the winemaker of Bodegas Beronia, Matías Calleja.
Born to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the firm founded in 1973 and owned since 1982 by the Grupo González Byass, Beronia Viñas Viejas 2020 underwent 10 months of aging in new French oak barrels, and was rounded in the bottle for another 5 months before being released to the market. Its freshness, meatiness, and breadth pair perfectly with all kinds of red meats, roasts, game, and Iberian sausages.
Founded in 1973 by a group of hedonists who formed a gastronomic society, Bodegas Beronia has belonged to the González Byass Group since 1982. A winery with a philosophy based on combining the best of tradition and modernity. Surrounding the facilities, Beronia has its main asset: 25 hectares of its own vineyard, complemented by an additional 870 hectares of controlled vineyards that extend within a 10 km radius, with an average age of 30 years. A magnificent and abundant viticultural heritage that allows it to have quality raw materials every vintage. Significant investment in R&D, respect for the environment, and the continuous renewal of the barrel park are other key characteristics.
Beronia produces different ranges: the Classic Range, consisting of a white, a rosé, and the red wines Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva; the Varietal Range, which includes the only Reserva from Rioja made with mazuelo; the Premium Range, featuring Beronia Selección 198 Barricas, Beronia III a.C., Beronia Viñas Viejas, Crianza Edición Limitada, and the rosé Alegra; and an organic wine. Additionally, Beronia has extended its reach to the D.O. Rueda, where they produce a verdejo white wine and have 65 hectares of their own vineyards.
