✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Bodegas Muga is one of Rioja’s most revered traditional estates, founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño. The Muga Reserva is a masterclass in classical Rioja Alta winemaking, distinguished by the estate's rare commitment to absolute oak integration—Muga remains one of the few wineries in Spain with its own master cooper to handcraft every barrel. This red blend is typically dominated by Tempranillo, supported by Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano, grown on clay-limestone and alluvial soils. Fermented in large wooden vats, the wine undergoes 24 months of aging in custom oak casks followed by at least 12 months of bottle refinement. Traditional egg-white fining is still practiced, yielding a wine of exceptional elegance, balancing ripe red fruit, sweet spices, and a signature earthy complexity.
🍾 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.
