Bodegas Muga is a family-owned winery established in 1932 and located in the historic Barrio de la Estación in Haro, the heart of Rioja Alta. Renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship and tradition, it is among the few Spanish wineries that maintain a dedicated cooperage on-site and still carry out all fermentation processes in oak barrels. This meticulous approach highlights their passion for quality, from vineyard management—where local grape varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano thrive in clay-limestone soils—to careful vinification, resulting in wines celebrated for their balance, elegance, and potential to age gracefully. With a portfolio that includes iconic labels such as Prado Enea and Torre Muga, Bodegas Muga continues to uphold the legacy of its founding family, blending time-honored practices with modern expertise to produce some of Spain’s most esteemed Riojan wines.

TASTING NOTES
The Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2016 displays a black-cherry hue with medium depth. On the nose, it reveals an elegant blend of forest fruits like blackberries, complemented by spices such as cloves and cinnamon. The palate is silky and smooth, with a medium body and an extended, enjoyable finish. Velvety tannins are perfectly balanced with fresh, well-integrated acidity. Subtle creamy and vanilla notes intertwine with vibrant fresh fruit, adding depth and harmony to the wine.
