✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Muga, established in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, is an iconic pillar of Haro's legendary Barrio de la Estación in Rioja Alta. The Selección Especial Reserva represents a harmonious marriage of traditional Riojan craftsmanship and meticulous vineyard selection. Sourced from clay-limestone terraces carved into the foothills of the Montes Obarenes, this wine is typically a blend dominated by Tempranillo, complemented by Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. Muga remains one of the very few estates in Spain to employ an in-house cooperage, crafting its own custom oak casks. The wine undergoes fermentation in large wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, followed by at least 26 months of aging in selected oak barrels, and is traditionally clarified using fresh egg whites. This painstaking process yields a deeply complex red, boasting dark fruit, plush spices, and a signature mineral-driven structure that reflects the cool Atlantic influences of the region.
🍾 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.
