Wine Description
Crafted in the heart of Rioja, Spain, by the renowned Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2019 is a testament to the winery’s dedication to traditional winemaking techniques while embracing modern nuances. This exquisite blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo, and Graciano grapes flourishes on the calcareous clay soils of the tertiary era, lending the wine its distinctive character. Under the meticulous guidance of the winery’s skilled winemaker and consulting winemaker, whose names are synonymous with quality and craftsmanship, this vintage is a celebration of the terroir’s richness.
The vinification process begins with manual harvesting, followed by fermentation in wooden vats under controlled temperatures. The wine matures for 24 months in casks crafted in Bodegas Muga’s own cooper’s workshop, utilizing wood sourced 80% from French oak and 20% American. This meticulous aging process is complemented by fining with fresh egg whites before the wine spends a minimum of 12 months in the bottle cellar, enhancing its complexity and finesse.
The 2019 Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva captivates with its bright ruby-red color, medium depth, and a garnet-tinged rim. Its bouquet is a complex symphony of wild forest fruits, notably blackberries and blueberries, interwoven with delicate hints of spices. The palate is greeted with a long, elegant, and wonderfully balanced taste. The integration of sharp acidity and soft tannins crafts a harmonious experience, culminating in a fruit-filled, prolonged finish. This wine’s impeccable structure and balance promise excellent aging potential.
The Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2019 is versatile, making it an exceptional companion to a wide range of dishes. It perfectly complements the richness of a ribeye steak, the varied flavors of charcuterie, and the hearty warmth of casseroles, elevating each meal to a gastronomic delight.
