The wine

The Finca Luna Beberide is a vino de paraje, a wine from a particular place, which picks up the soil’s diversity, with a captivating countryside aura in which wild red berries, bushes and earth converge with spices and smoke. It’s also a fresh and lively wine from start to finish, having enough body to satisfy every last millimetre of palate. A wine with a notable powerfulness, denoting purity and nobility. In short, a wine of conspicuous complexity at such a moderate price.

This wine was formerly known as Finca La Cuesta until the 2017 vintage. Now it’s a ‘vino de paraje’, a wine from a particular place, namely Valdetruchas, in Villafranca del Bierzo.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The perfumed, elegant and harmonious 2021 Finca Luna Beberide is serious and balanced. It feels young and energetic. This is now a vino de paraje from Valdetruchas in Villafranca del Bierzo, and it matured in barrel for 10 months. It has notes of flowers, herbs and wild berries with a touch of smoke and spice. It's fresh and balanced, with 13.5% alcohol. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023.

Vineyards

The three reds made by Luna Beberide come from vineyards in a particular location, the paraje de Valdetruchas, in Villafranca del Bierzo. The youngest vines, situated in the valley, are grown for making the young Mencía; those at medium altitude, around 500-600 metres, aged more than 60 years old, are used to produce Finca Luna Beberide (previously called Finca La Cuesta for this reason); and those planted at the top of the slope, at about 700-800 metres, are destined for Art, the most concentrated and mineral wine.

As Alejandro maintains: "the prime material and the soil must be the mainstays of what later will be a great wine”; and thanks specifically to those slate and clay-calcareous soils, they obtain fruit-laden, mineral wines. The winery possesses a large16th Century house located...
