Beronia Viura Barrel-Fermented Rioja DOC 2024 13% vol. 0.75 l

The Beronia Viura Barrel Fermented Rioja DOCa 2024 13% is an expressive Spanish white wine from the Rioja region, made from 100% Viura grapes. The white grapes come from old vines, traditionally trained as bush vines, which produce low yields, resulting in concentrated grapes with a distinctive character. Following a 12-hour static maceration on the skins, the must is drawn off and then fermented directly in 225-litre wooden barrels. Beronia uses 80 per cent French oak and 20 per cent American oak for this process. It is precisely this barrel fermentation that is a key characteristic of the wine, lending it additional structure and complexity without overshadowing the freshness typical of Viura.

The 2024 vintage is produced by Bodegas Beronia in Ollauri and bears the Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.Ca.) Rioja. With an alcohol content of 13% in the 0.75-litre bottle, this barrel-fermented white Rioja combines traditional Spanish winemaking with a modern, multi-layered style. The total acidity is 5 g/l, the pH value is 3.35; the winery states that the wine will be at its best until 2030. In addition, the vintage has a very low residual sugar content of 1 g/l, meaning the Viura is clearly dry. The bottle is sealed with a natural cork. This makes the Beronia Viura 2024 particularly suitable for lovers of structured, dry white wines with barrel ageing and excellent potential as a food companion.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Beronia Viura Barrel Fermented 2024 presents an attractive straw-yellow colour with delicate pearlescent highlights. On the nose, notes of apricot and white flowers unfold, accompanied by mineral hints and a subtle touch of aniseed. On the palate, the wine is long, full-bodied and well-balanced, with an enveloping texture and nuances of stone fruit, grapefruit peel and bergamot, underpinned by a subtle spiciness. The finish is fresh, structured, elegant and long-lasting.

The Beronia Viura Barrel Fermented Rioja 2024 pairs particularly well with poultry, pork and hearty fish dishes, as well as with dishes featuring creamy sauces. Recommended pairings include, for example, pan-fried salmon, chicken in a cream sauce or a creamy mushroom soup; the barrel-fermented Viura also offers sufficient structure to complement smoked duck. Served at a temperature of around 10–12 °C, its freshness and body are brought into perfect balance. Thanks to its fuller-bodied style, it is an excellent white wine to accompany a set menu and slightly heartier dishes.
