Bodegas Muga was founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and his wife, Aurora Cano, both of whom came from families with a long tradition of activity within the wine-making industry. Over the years, Muga wines have gained international recognition and acclaim; from working with just a few thousand kilos of grapes per year, the bodega has now expanded its processing capacity to over one and half million kilos.
Today, new generations of the Muga family continue to join the family business, making Bodegas Muga a true symbol of family tradition.
The Bodegas Muga vineyards are situated on the east and south-facing slopes of the Obarenes Mountains, which are sculptured into terraces to form a series of small plots.
The soil in this region is mainly clayey and calcareous, although some regions tend to be more ferrous and alluvial. The land is divided into small plots with varying physical and chemical properties and their own individual and clearly defined personalities.
A blend of Tempranillo 70%, Garnacha 20% and Mazuelo y Graciano 10% grapes this wine spends 6 months in traditional Riojan oak vats, 24 months in small oak barrels and a minimum of 12 months in bottle.
Cherry red in colour with light brick hues from ageing, the aromas of noble wood are perfectly blended with those of ripe fruit. The balance in the mouth is perfectly compensated in flavour of this rounded wine. Full of nuances this Tempranillo dominated wine is very tasty with a long, lingering finish.
