Ah … Tempranillo… a grape to conjure summer in a glass and on this icy night in the UK you’d be surprised how warming this rosé can be. From one of Rioja’s most exemplary and food friendly bodegas this scrumptious tipple is perfect for a relaxed kitchen supper with friends. Serve it with your choice of Spanish tidbits- Manchego cheese, Jamon, dried figs, olives. And something warm- tortilla omelette, patatas bravas… some succulent fish. On the nose there are sharp cherries, then a good long lingering finish. Let’s celebrate – the fact that pink wine brings us joy year round…?

About this Vineyard

Founded by a group of food-loving friends from the Basque Country who formed their own gastronomic society, Bodegas Beronia takes its name from the Berones, a Celtic tribe who inhabited the Rioja region in the 3rd century BC. Now part of the Gonzalez Byass group, the winery sits in the Rioja Alta village of Ollauri and controls nearly 900 hectares of vineyards. Beronia is celebrated for its pioneering use of mixed oak barrels – American staves with French oak tops – and remains one of the top five Rioja brands in Spain.
