    In the heart of Rioja, Bodegas Muga Seleccion Especial 2019, a testament to the extraordinary vintages that grace this prestigious winery. This wine is a meticulous selection from the Muga family’s oldest vineyards, perched on the slopes and higher altitudes where the soil is poor, and drainage is optimal. These challenging conditions yield fruit of unparalleled quality, allowing for a wine that is both complex and expressive. The blend of 70% Tempranillo with 30% Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo undergoes a vinification process that mirrors the flagship Reserva, albeit with a superior oak treatment and longer aging, underlining the family’s commitment to excellence.

    The Seleccion Especial benefits from the unique clay-limestone geology of the Tertiary era terraces, nestled between the Montes Obarenes and Sierra Cantabria. This terroir, combined with indigenous yeast fermentation in oak vats and a 26-month maturation in new French oak barrels crafted in the winery’s cooperage, culminates in a wine of extraordinary depth and elegance. Post-finishing with fresh egg whites and an additional 18-month bottle aging in the cellars, the Bodegas Muga Seleccion Especial 2019 is presented with unparalleled finesse.

    Upon inspection, this reserva special reveals a deep black cherry color with a captivating robe. The nose is intensely aromatic, offering a bouquet where ripe blackberries mingle with the exotic spiciness of clove and the sweet allure of vanilla, crafting a profile of intriguing complexity. The palate echoes this harmony, with a notable acidity and polished tannins framing a medium body. Silky and elegant, it unfolds layers of ripe fruit and nuanced wood integration, leading to a long, balanced finish. The Muga Seleccion Especial’s structure promises great ageing potential, marking it as a highlight of the winery’s offerings.

    Critical acclaim underscores the exceptional nature of the Bodegas Muga Seleccion Especial 2019. James Suckling awarded it 95 points, praising its fresh, understated nose adorned with cocoa powder, blackcurrants, and blackberries, alongside hints of cigar and charcoal. He commends the wine’s depth, class, and the juicy center palate that transitions into a medium to full body, culminating in a long, layered finish.

    Bodegas Muga’s special wine pairs exquisitely with robust dishes, finding harmony with red meats, lamb, and game, enhancing both the culinary and tasting experience. The Seleccion Especial is not just a wine; it’s a celebration of exceptional vintages, meticulous vineyard selection, and the artistry of winemaking. The winery, under the guidance of its skilled winemakers and possibly consulting experts, continues to uphold a tradition of crafting wines that are not only reflective of their terroir but also of their dedication to quality and innovation.

    In summary, the Bodegas Muga Seleccion Especial 2019 is a radiant example of what the winery stands for: tradition, quality, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence. Each glass tells the story of its origin, from the ancient terraces of Rioja to the careful aging in the cellars of Bodegas Muga, making every sip a journey worth savoring.
