Product Description
Details

Interestingly, Beronia Mazuelo Reserva is the only Reserva from La Rioja made solely from Mazuelo (the local name of Carignan). 

Produced by bodega Beronia, this Spanish red wine comes from vines with clay-limestone soils grown following environmentally friendly techniques. The vineyards are located in Ollauri, in the heart of La Rioja Alta.

Harvested by hand on site and in the cellar, the grapes were slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature. After that, Beronia Mazuelo Reserva 2017 was aged for 27 months in hybrid oak barrels - made from American oak staves and French oak tops . Finally, it was aged for 14 months in the bottle before hitting the market.

We suggest that you decant this Reserva red wine 1 hour before drinking.

Pair this red wine from La Rioja with cured cheese and roast recipes.

Appearance

The wine Beronia Mazuelo Reserva is medium purple with a ruby rim. 

Nose

Characterful and nuanced, this varietal Mazuelo suggests uncommon aromas of quince jelly and bitter cocoa, with lively red fruit, ground coffee, spices and bitter herbs.

Palate

Surprisingly fresh given the long barrel ageing, this wine of bodega Beronia is yummy and meaty, with a crisp acidity and gentle tannins. Round, long finish with some tobacco, leather and earthy overtones.

Our personal opinion

A very interesting wine, Beronia Mazuelo Reserva 2017 shows a different side of La Rioja.
