General Information
Las Dos Maderas de Beronia Reserva 2018 comes from a cold year in Rioja that produced very satisfactory results in terms of the quality of the wines. This red is made solely from Tempranillo grapes, which underwent pre-fermentative cold maceration and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 26-28º C with periodic pumping-over.
The resulting red wine was aged for 18 months in barrels made of French and American oak and two-use French oak barrels. After bottling, it was matured to perfection in the winery for a further 18 months before being released.
Bodegas Beronia is one of the most internationally famous Spanish brands. The winery was established in 1973 by a group of hedonists belonging to a dining club. It is currently part of the important González Byass wine group.
Bodegas Beronia owns more than 800 hectares of vineyards, many surrounding the facilities, where it promotes sustainable farming on all levels and absolute respect for the environment but without forgetting the traditional essence of Rioja. This has positioned its labels among those in greatest demand worldwide.
Bodegas Beronia’s new facilities, established in 2022 in Ollauri, are synonymous with the highest level of sustainability. This functional building, which uses renewable energies such as aerothermal, photovoltaic and solar, holds the most important international environmental certificates.
Las Dos Maderas de Beronia Reserva 2018 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is a red that you can enjoy now or keep. You’ll only find it at Vinoselección.

The winery
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.
