✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
