Beronia

'Vareia' Tempranillo 2019

Vareia is Beronia’s single-vineyard Rioja, produced from Tempranillo planted in 1950 on poor, stony clay-limestone soils. The fruit is picked by hand and the wine spends 11 months in large new French oak foudres, building structure without allowing the oak to dominate.

Tasting Notes

The 2019 combines red and dark fruit with rose petals, liquorice, cocoa and spice. It is full-bodied and polished, but retains the freshness and balance needed to carry its concentration.

About Beronia

Founded by members of a Basque txoko gastronomic society who wanted the ultimate companion for their culinary creations, this Rioja benchmark is a winery fundamentally born out of a passion for food. Fusing centuries-old traditions with modern innovation, Beronia uniquely pioneering the use of mixed-wood barrels crafted from both French and American oak. Tended with precision across Rioja's prime sub-regions, their celebrated Reservas deliver deep complexity, intense red berry fruit, and subtle baking spice notes—resulting in structured, wonderfully gastronomic masterpieces that pulse with classic elegance and a majestic, food-friendly vitality.

About Rioja

Rioja is Spain’s flagship wine region and a place where clear structure and long-standing tradition shape the styles. Tempranillo is king, delivering approachable reds with bright fruit gentle spice and familiar Rioja smoothness. Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo will often join the blend. Ageing classifications such as Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva set the tone with increasing time in oak and bottle, adding layers of flavour. White Rioja, made mainly from Viura (Macabeo) offers both crisp citrus-led styles and fuller oak-influenced, often age-worthy wines. It is a region built on consistency, reliability and strong winemaking identity.
