General information

This wine is made from grapes from our best Rioja Alta vineyards. The harvest date is determined with periodic analysis and tasting of the grapes, indicators of the optimal state of maturation. After a careful selection in the vineyard and in the cellar, the grape goes to oak vats where the alcoholic fermentation will take place. It is uncovered in new French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation and aging are carried out for 18 months.

Tasting Notes Muga crianza

High vividness and color intensity. Cherry color with purple hints on the meniscus. On the nose, its aromatic potential stands out, with the appearance of ripe berries, predominantly blackberries and also appearing floral notes of violet that intermingle with those from fine wood such as coffee, chocolates and balsamic. On the palate it has a powerful entry but with a smooth mid palate marked by a kind and silky tannin, which provides us with an amplitude in the aftertaste that allows us to continue enjoying the wine for a long time. In the glass it evolves, expanding its aromatic variety. The pairing is very wide, ranging from the mere tasting to any kind of meat, including game.
