2022 Beronia Rioja Blanco Viura, Beronia, Rioja

£11.75 inc. VAT

Made from grapes grown at high altitude to ensure slow ripening, this Viura is made in a modern, fruit-driven style.

Fermented in tank at low temperatures for maximum freshness, it is characterised by soft peach and nectarine fruit characters, balanced by a lively fresh citrus acidity.

Upon arrival to the winery, the grapes underwent static pellicular maceration for 24 hours before being de-stemmed. The next stage of the process was static debourbage, at 5ºC, followed immediately by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of between 14 and 16ºC, which lasted 10 days. The final steps were cold stabilization and bottling in January 2020.

Complex and intense on the nose, displaying exotic fruit and citrus aromas, the most prominent being pineapple, over other fruit such as green apple and lemon. On the palate the wine is fresh and rounded, with pleasant acidity. The fruits present as aromas come through on the palate and the overall result is a wine that is full-bodied, lively and well balanced.

A great match with seafood paella or calamari.
