Pairing
Las dos maderas de Beronia Reserva 2020 is a Reserva red wine with a deep, elegant profile, ideal to accompany a grilled sirloin steak, roasted lamb, beef cheeks, sautéed mushrooms, or a platter of cured cheeses. Its ripe fruit, notes of cinnamon and cacao, and its luscious tannin harmonise very well with flavourful meats and richly prepared dishes, while its balance and length also work with a legume stew with chorizo or with a risotto of porcini mushrooms.

Tasting notes
View
Deep high-layer garnet. Clear and bright.
Nose
Discover a complex and attractive nose, with ripe fruit standing out and intertwined with sweet spices such as cinnamon and cocoa, while mineral and balsamic notes add a sense of great freshness and depth. All of this creates an expressive and well-balanced ensemble, true to the character of this 100% Tempranillo from Rioja.
Mouth
Aged for 18 months in mixed French and American oak barrels, and in French oak barrels of two wines, this Reserva of D.O.Ca. Rioja exhibits a very well-crafted architecture on the palate, with luscious notes blending with hints of nuts and a very sweet tannin, with a smooth and polished texture; the finish is rounded, flavoursome, and lengthy, supported by a balanced acidity that brings vibrancy and makes it especially appealing on the palate.
An approachable, spacious, and persistent palate.
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.
