At the end of the 80's the Muga family started to think about making special elaborations having in mind the international markets. This objective involved the making of full-bodied wines, more powerful but without losing the elegance and complexity which have always been present in the wines from Muga.
The result is the Aro wine, a tribute (without "H") to the Rioja Wine capital. Concentrating on the fruit Aro grapes are highly selective and made from vineyards older than 60 years old with a plant by plant selection.
After extensive work and care in the winery the wine is aged, lightly clarified and it is bottled without filtering. This has produced an elegant red coloured wine with violet hues which hint at a well preserved youthfulness. In the aroma there is a subtle mingling of fruit nuances of ripe red berries with hints of spices. This aroma is intense, clean and subtle. On the palate it has lots of flavour, with an elegant attack, evolving into a meaty mouth-feel. Its powerful, though modulated tannins carry the wine onwards into a long, promising finish. A complex, supple, enjoyable wine with excellent potency.
