YEAR’S BEST RIOJA!
Beronia Rioja Gran Reserva2006
“Year's Best Rioja. Fully mature, this
has the sweetness of age, along
with scents of fennel and spice. Its
complexity runs on volatile acidity,
adding a leathery note and aromatic
lift to the flavor. Juicy and firm, this
is ready to drink with roast lamb.“

Gran Reserva 2007
“Rooty, herbal, oaky aromas include
notes of blackberry, raspberry and
molasses. A layered, creamy palate has
just enough structure and tannic grab to
come across as firm. Charred, toasty
flavors of oaky berry fruits and tobacco
finish earthy, mature and lightly baked. ”

Beronia
Gran Reserva 2007
“With a textbook, classical Rioja nose of coconut,
vanilla, leather, cherries and balsamic woods with a
distant lactic hint, the 2007 Gran Reserva from a
harvest that saw over 400,000,000 kilos of grapes in
Rioja, contains 6% Graciano and 2% Mazuelo beside
the dominant Tempranillo from old vines aged in
French oak barrels for 27 months. The time in oak has
polished the wine but has not dried out the fruit, a
problem very common in the long-aging wines, and
has provided plenty of balsamic aromas, which are
complicated by the time in bottle (the wine has been
in bottle since November 2010).
Beronia is owned by Gonzalez Byass from Jerez and
produces reliable, commercial-driven wines that offer
good value.”

Gran Reserva 2006
“Beronia has blended modern and
traditional touches to create a fine Gran
Reserva with spice, vanilla, coconut,
tobacco and dried berry aromas. The
palate offers ripe tannins and kick, while
the flavor profile is earthy, with mocha,
coffee, chocolate and dried berry flavors.
A long, lightly toasted and chocolaty
finish provides a fitting end to an
excellent wine.”

“This harmonious red is dense
and lively, with plum, licorice,
smoke and mineral flavors
supported by moderate tannins
and fresh acidity. Not assertive,
but showing drive through the
floral finish.”

Beronia
Gran Reserva 2006
“ Shows the effect of a ripe vintage, with
notes of prunes and dark plums and as a
result of the long aging in oak there are
balsamic notes of incense and old furniture.
The palate reveals plenty of tannins with the
fruit in the background.”

Beronia 2006 Rioja Gran Reserva
“As comfortable as a soft leather
sofa, this wine’s red fruit settles into
the gentle tannins of older oak.
There’s a lot of maturity to it, with
notes of balsamic, smoked peppers
and touches of bitter char. It will
dress up a Sunday roast.“
