Muga Rioja Reserva 2022

A traditional blend of roughly 70% Tempranillo with Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano from the Haro zone, fermented destemmed and lightly crushed in oak vats with indigenous yeasts. 80% of the volume is matured in French oak and the remainder in Central European and American oak, around 20% new, for 22 months with racking every 8-9 months, all from Mugas own in-house cooperage. A powerful yet classy Reserva with pristine, ripe fruit and softly rounded tannins. The nose shows graphite, cherry, plum and black truffle character, leading to a creamy, fine-tannined, medium to full-bodied palate with succulent dark berry fruit and sweet spice. Balanced, complex and built to last.
