The art of ageing elevated to its highest expression
There are wines that manage to stop time, that condense in every sip the history of a land, the wisdom of a winery, and the serenity of a great vintage. This is one of them. Las dos maderas de Beronia Reserva 2020 comes from old vineyards, matured patiently in noble woods, and refined until reaching a harmony that effortlessly seduces. A wine that invites you to discover it calmly… and to enjoy it again.
Las dos maderas de Beronia Reserva 2020 is a Rioja with character and great elegance. It originates from the D.O.Ca. Rioja from Tempranillo 100%, with the signature of Alejandro López and the expertise of Bodegas Beronia, now part of the González-Byass group.
Its 18 months of ageing in mixed French and American oak barrels, together with French oak barrels for two wines, provides a well-balanced harmony between finesse and depth. It is a Reserva that seeks balance, crafted to add layers without losing the personality of the grape or the sense of authenticity in every sip.
Beronia has been a well-recognised name in the area for over half a century, and this confidence is reflected in the certainty with which it handles its wines. Las dos maderas de Beronia Reserva 2020 perfectly exemplifies this approach to Rioja: tradition, meticulous attention to detail, and a clear identity that is effortlessly memorable.
