White Wine
Beronia Viura 2024, Rioja, Spain: A crisp, aromatic white with inviting aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, accented by subtle notes of white flowers and a hint of fennel. It’s light-bodied, dry, and zesty on the palate, with bright acidity and 12.5% alcohol delivering a refreshing, mouthwatering finish. Serve it well-chilled to emphasize its lively fruit and clean texture. Fascinating fact: Beronia was founded in 1973 by a group of friends who loved food and wine, and today the winery is renowned not only for its Rioja reds but also for showcasing Viura, the region’s classic white grape, in a pure and modern style. Best enjoyed young within 1–2 years to capture its vibrant freshness. Viura food pairings: grilled sea bass and lemon, where the wine’s citrus notes lift the dish beautifully. Or try it with a summer salad of arugula, goat cheese, and green apple, where its crisp acidity ties all the flavors together.. Drink: 2025 - 2027 44526 12.5% XD 750 mL $13.95 Score: 90/100.
