Intense cherry-red with garnet edges, ripe fruit, nutmeg, clove, tobacco and cedar on the nose, and licorice, cocoa, plum and blackcurrant over juicy acidity and firm, sweet tannins into a long, spicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeronia Gran Reserva 2018 is a Rioja red made from selected grapes from old Tempranillo and Graciano vineyards. The official 2018 technical information describes a cold, wet growing season with delayed ripening, selective harvesting in late September, and a vintage rating of “Good.” It was aged for approximately 27–28 months in French oak and at least 36 months in bottle before release. The official sources differ slightly on the blend: the Beronia 2018 product page states 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano, while the 2018 technical sheet states 94% and 6%, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 was a late vintage in Rioja: a cold, wet winter and spring delayed bud break and pushed ripening back 15 to 20 days, and it took a sunnier, drier August plus selective picking into late September to bring the fruit to a satisfactory point. The finished wine measures 14.0% alcohol, 6.40 g\/L total acidity, 1.8 g\/L residual sugar and a pH of 3.60.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlend\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempranillo 97%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraciano 3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beronia","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 750 mL","offer_id":48975615819959,"sku":"WIBERRGR2018-B750","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4486\/9815\/files\/front_66b25f7e-3fcc-4c57-bd01-a80acb9c919b.png?v=1788238321","url":"https:\/\/preface.wine\/products\/beronia-rioja-gran-reserva-2018","provider":"Preface Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
