In the North of Spain, Rioja is undeniably the most famous Spanish wine region, with a global reputation of trust and quality built over 2000 years of winemaking.
In 1973, a group of friends, united by their love of gastronomy, had a mission to create great wines to complement their culinary creations. The result was Bodegas Beronia. Their flagship winery is in La Rioja, Spain, with a second winery solely dedicated to the production of Verdejo located in Rueda.

After aging on lees for a period of 2 to 3 months, the wine was clarified and filtered before being bottled.
