Winemaking insights

Few vines survived the phylloxera epidemic which ravaged the Rioja vineyards at the end of the 19th Century. Beronia IIIa.C is made from some of the ones that did. The selected grapes come from our oldest, most prized vines, and the decades spent carefully tending to them has resulted in the most intense and intricately flavoured fruit. After a careful harvest, the grapes undergo cold maceration. This process extracts the very best aromas and flavours from the grapes, prior to fermentation. The wine is then developed through careful aging in new French oak barrels for one year.

Vino tinto
Appearance
Deep, black cherry colour.
Aroma
Fragrant deep, red fruits and smooth liquorice, cacao and vanilla are wrapped with strands of fresh balsamic.
Palate
The rich aromas are further concentrated on the palate, resulting in a full-bodied, powerful wine with a long, smooth finish.
