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
This wine displays a deep reddish hue with purple highlights and medium-high color intensity. The nose is remarkably intense, dominated by wild berries like blackberries and accented by delicate hints of violets. Subtle notes from French oak barrels—cloves, vanilla, and dried fruits—underscore the quality of the wood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with balanced acidity, smooth tannins, and a touch of sweetness. The wild berries and violets reemerge, harmonising beautifully with the well-integrated oak. The finish is long and elegant, with excellent potential for aging due to its vibrant acidity and refined tannins.
