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 Seleccion Especial features a deep, rich colour with a classic black-cherry, wine-red hue. On the nose, it reveals intense and complex aromas, highlighted by ripe fruit notes alongside spices such as clove and vanilla, complemented by hints of chocolate and cocoa from its time in oak. The palate opens with polished tannins and a well-balanced structure, offering a smooth and refined mouthfeel. Its sharp, well-integrated acidity ensures excellent aging potential. The finish is long and intricate, with ripe fruit flavours reappearing, accompanied by toasted nuances.
