Muga Rioja Reserva Red 2020
From Bodegas Muga in Haro, Rioja Alta, the Rioja Reserva 2020 is a refined blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano from clay-limestone soils in the Oja and Najerilla valleys. Hand-harvested from sustainable vineyards, it’s aged 24 months in French and American oak barrels, offering a ruby-red hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, elegant red with ripe fruit and spicy finesse, showcasing Rioja’s terroir.
The nose reveals black cherry, plum, and currants, with hints of toast and chocolate. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and juicy, with soft tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of blueberry, spice, and a long, savory finish.
