Beronia Rioja Reserva 2020
Beronia Rioja Reserva is a contemporary expression of one of Spain's most celebrated wine regions — elegant, complex, and built to impress. Predominantly old-vine Tempranillo with contributions of Graciano and Mazuelo, the wine is aged for 18 months in French and American oak before a further 18 months in bottle, producing a polished, harmonious red with real depth and a long, refined finish. Why You'll Love It Beronia has been producing Rioja for decades, earning a reputation for wines that balance traditional winemaking with a modern sensibility. The Reserva is the jewel in the crown — a wine that rewards patience and attention, revealing greater complexity with every glass. If you're looking for a Rioja that delivers genuine sophistication without requiring a special occasion, this is it. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully sorted before slow, controlled fermentation to extract colour, aroma, and texture. The wine then spends 18 months maturing in a combination of French and American oak barrels, followed by a further 18 months of bottle ageing — allowing all the flavours to integrate fully before release. Tasting Notes Deep cherry-red in colour. The nose shows ripe black fruits and sweet cinnamon spice, with the palate delivering smooth, refined layers of lush black fruit, cacao, roasted hazelnut, and a hint of pepper. Soft tannins and an elegant, long finish complete the picture. Perfect Pairings A versatile partner for the table. Excellent with roast meats, Ibérico cured meats, slow-cooked lamb, and aged or ripe cheeses. Also a natural match for hearty stews and game dishes. The Blend Tempranillo 93%, Graciano 6%, Mazuelo 1% — DOCa Rioja, Spain. 18 months oak, 18 months bottle. 75cl bottle.
Poggio Argentiera, Maremmante Rosso 2019
Poggio Argentiera was founded in 1997 with the purchase of the Adua farm, a property which went back to the early 20th century when the Maremma marshes began to be drained, today the winery owns over 50 acres (21 hectares) of vineyards all in the Morellino di Scansano appellation. Their philosophy combines the work in the vineyard with the utmost respect for the vine and its production cycle and, starting from 2009, the management of the entire Estate has been converted following the principles and practices of organic agriculture and farming, with the objective of researching perfect balance between the vines and the surrounding environment. "Red fruit and violets. Complex, dusky nose, combination of sweet red fruits – cherries and plums, with peppery darker notes and dry spice – cardamom pods and sandalwood. Palate is juicy and taut, with nice purity and zest to the fruit, literally – notes of orange peel jostle with red and sour cherries and spiced plums, and there is tobaccic quality to the salty tannins. Very accomplished winemaking at this level – the quality of fruit from the Baccinello vineyard really seems to shine." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
