Hailing from the legendary Barrio de la Estacion in Haro, the historic beating heart of Rioja Alta, Bodegas Muga's 'El Anden de la Estacion' pays direct tribute to the railway platform that fueled the region's 19th-century wine boom. Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo and Garnacha grown in clay-limestone and alluvial soils, this red wine undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts in large wooden vats before aging in custom oak barrels crafted in Muga's own in-house cooperage. The result is a beautifully balanced, approachable expression of Rioja, blending vibrant red fruit character with subtle toasted spice, fine-grained tannins, and the signature freshness of the Rioja Alta terroir.
