✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Bodegas Muga's Prado Enea Gran Reserva represents the pinnacle of traditional Rioja winemaking. Established in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, the estate remains one of the few in Spain to employ an in-house cooper to craft and maintain all of their oak vessels. Prado Enea is sourced from the estate's highest-altitude vineyards in the cool foothills of the Montes Obarenes, where clay-limestone soils and a late harvest yield grapes with exceptional acidity and structural elegance. The blend is dominated by Tempranillo, supported by Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. True to the strict demands of the Gran Reserva classification, this wine undergoes an incredibly patient maturation process: it ferments in large oak vats, ages for at least 36 months in custom-coopered oak barrels, and rests for another 36 months in the bottle before it is deemed ready for release. This meticulous, time-honored approach results in a wine of profound complexity, showcasing notes of dried dark fruits, forest floor, sweet spices, and velvety tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodegas Muga blev grundlagt i 1932 af Isaac Muga og Aurora Caño og regnes i dag blandt Spaniens mest agtede og traditionsrige familiedrevne vinhuse. Ejendommen har hjemme i det legendariske Barrio de la Estación i Haro i Rioja Alta-zonen. Vingården værner urokkeligt om de klassiske vinifikationsmetoder og er blandt de få producenter, der stadig råder over sit eget bødkeri. Her fremstiller husets egne bødker-mestre alle gæringskar og lagringsfade af udsøgt egetræ, ligesom vinene klares naturligt med æggehvider. Mugas sortiment forener på harmonisk vis klassisk elegance med moderne finesse og nyder verdensomspændende anerkendelse for sine ikoniske, lagringsværdige cuvéer – ikke mindst Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Selección Especial og det moderne kraftværk Torre Muga samt de roste Conde de Haro-mousserende vine og udtryksfulde hvid- og rosévine fra Rioja.
