✨ wine.spec_sheet
Bodegas Muga, nestled in the historic Barrio de la Estacion of Haro, remains one of the ultimate standard-bearers of traditional Rioja. Their flagship Prado Enea is a masterclass in patient, classical winemaking. Sourced from high-altitude, cool-climate clay-limestone vineyards in the foothills of the Obarenes Mountains, this wine is typically a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. Muga is legendary for maintaining its own in-house cooperage, crafting the very oak vats and barrels where Prado Enea rests. The wine undergoes a painstaking aging process, spending up to 36 months in oak followed by at least another 36 months in the bottle. Clarified traditionally using fresh egg whites, it represents a seamless bridge between Rioja's rich history and timeless elegance, showing complex notes of dried dark fruits, leather, sweet spices, and forest floor.
