Beronia Vinas Viejas DOC Rioja 2022

Beronia Viñas Viejas 2022 displays a deep cherry-red color with excellent intensity. The nose is complex and expressive, showing ripe blackberry fruit layered with spice, subtle balsamic notes, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is fruit-driven and well structured, combining freshness with depth. The tannins are polished and well integrated, supported by vibrant acidity that adds precision and balance. Oak aging is carefully managed, contributing complexity without dominating the fruit. The finish is long, clean, and harmonious, highlighting the character of old-vine Tempranillo and refined Rioja winemaking. (Tim Atkins,timatkin.com,Rioja Special Report 2023)
