Muga Reserva 2019, Rioja Spain

Muga Reserve

Muga Reserva is a favorite among our wines, combining the traditional Rioja style with a modern finesse.

Grapes and vinification
This wine is made from 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo, all from carefully selected vineyards in Rioja Alta. After the harvest, the stems are removed and fermentation takes place with natural yeasts. The wine is aged for 22 months in French, Central European and American oak barrels, of which 20% are new, and then at least 14 months in bottle.

Aroma and taste
The aroma offers black cherries, forest floor, mocha, truffles, vanilla and dried flowers. The taste is juicy and medium-bodied with fresh red fruit, soft tannins and a well-balanced acidity.

Serving suggestions
This wine is ideal with pork chops, garlic-marinated lamb, rich pasta dishes or spicy vegetarian dishes such as roasted mushrooms and squash. It can be enjoyed young with 1-2 hours of aeration or aged for up to 20 years.
