Luna Beberide, Finca Luna Beberide

Dark red, almost purple. Violet sheens. Aromas of ripe red Furtos in the company of a notorious sweet chocolate hue with a slightly spicy background by the presence of pepper. Is surrounded with good body and balanced acidity. The taste is fruity mostly, but has a dry finish, though extensive. Wine perfectly accentuates the taste of game birds with mushroom or berry sauce, beef stew with vegetables, lamb with thyme and mushroom carpaccio. It also serves to pate, lobster salad with grapefruit and soft goat cheese.

Luna Beberide, Finca Luna Beberide 2020	93 Wine Advocate The 2020 Finca Luna Beberide feels young and energetic. It has a nice combination of flowers, herbs and wild berries with a faint touch of spicy oak after 10 months in barrel. This has to be one of the finest vintages for this wine. It has just been bottled, so I’d wait a little to pull the cork; give it time to polish the tannins. Following the new official classification of the wines from Bierzo, this is a Vino de Paraje from Valdetruchas in Villafranca del Bierzo. 40,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. 2023-2027 93 View from the Cellar As I have mentioned before, the Finca Lune Beberide bottling is crafted from sixty to eighty year-old vines, planted on soils of clay and slate. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and undergoes malo and aging for ten months in used French barricas. The 2020 Finca comes in at the same 13.5 percent alcohol as the regular Mencía bottling in this vintage. The wine delivers a beautiful young bouquet of sweet dark berries, tree bark, woodsmoke, pomegranate, slate soil tones, a complex array of gentle botanicals and a nice touch of oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, young and complex, with a lovely core, excellent mineral drive and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a very long, tangy and impeccably balanced finish. This will need some extended cellaring to start to drink with generosity, but it will be excellent once it blossoms! 2030-2075. 91 OwenBargreen.com Made from old vine Mencia grapes, the outstanding ‘Finca Luna Beberide’ shows off fabulous concentration, with good underlying verve. Rocky and stony undercurrents add to the intrigue, as tart red and dark fruits parade with coffee ground and baking spices on the palate. Enjoy now and over the next seven plus years to come. 91 Wine Enthusiast This black cherry colored wine features a nose of bramble berries, tapenade and honeysuckle. Plush tannins play backup to flavors of cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate and clove that fade into a lifted floral finish.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
