✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Rioja, Bodegas Muga crafts this exceptional sparkling rosé under the D.O. Cava appellation. Named in honor of the historic title 'Count of Haro' bestowed in the 15th century, Conde de Haro Rosé is a testament to Muga's mastery of both still and sparkling wines. The wine is primarily crafted from Garnacha grapes grown in the cool, high-altitude clay-limestone vineyards of Rioja Alta, where Atlantic influences preserve vital acidity and delicate red-fruit aromas. Produced using the traditional method, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its lees for approximately 14 months. This process imparts a creamy texture and subtle autolytic complexity, beautifully balancing the vibrant, fresh berry notes characteristic of Rioja's Garnacha.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, Bodegas Muga is one of the most revered and historic family-run wineries in Spain, situated in the legendary Barrio de la Estación in Haro within the Rioja Alta subregion. The bodega remains steadfastly dedicated to traditional winemaking methods, being one of the few producers to maintain its own in-house master cooperage, crafting all fermentation vats and aging casks from fine oak, alongside practicing natural clarification through egg-white fining. Muga's portfolio harmoniously bridges classic elegance and modern expression, celebrated worldwide for iconic, long-aged cuvées such as Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Seleccion Especial, and the contemporary powerhouse Torre Muga, in addition to acclaimed Conde de Haro sparkling wines and expressive Rioja whites and rosados.
