It is mostly Tempranillo with some Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano from vineyards no more than 25 kilometers from the winery in Haro, cropped from a warm and dry year. Here, what they did was wait; it rained a little, the plants unblocked and they had the patience to wait for the grapes to ripen fully. So, the grapes were in a very healthy state, and winemaker Isaac Muga likes to ferment the grapes destemmed and lightly crushed in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and then mature the wine in 90% French and 10% American oak barrels for 22 months, with racking every eight to nine months. It has good ripeness, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.59 and 5.45 grams of acidity, and it's medium- to full bodied, concentrated but sleek and polished, with fine-grained tannins, very supple flavors and a chalky finish. It still has some toasty notes in the finish that should integrate with a little bit more time. 945,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025. They are very happy with 2022, and they even produced Prado Enea and a tiny quantity of Aro.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Master Artisans of Haro:\u003c\/strong\u003e Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Auro Caño, Bodegas Muga is located in the legendary Barrio de la Estación in Haro. They are one of the very few wineries left in the world that remains 100% dedicated to wood, employing an in-house cooper to build and toast all of their fermentation vats and aging barrels. Rooted in the limestone-clay terraces of the Obarenes mountains, Muga crafts authentic, historically complete masterworks defined by absolute balance and lineage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eA classic Rioja Alta blend consisting predominantly of Tempranillo, beautifully complemented by Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eFermented spontaneously with indigenous vineyard yeasts in large oak vats before undergoing extensive maturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eAged for 24 months in custom-built oak barrels crafted inside the estate’s own cooperage, followed by a minimum of 12 months of clarifying bottle cellaring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- TASTING NOTES --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; list-style: none; padding-left: 0; margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, bright cherry-red with clear violet-garnet rims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely open, fresh, and layered, exploding with ripe blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum, intricately laced with licorice, clove, vanilla bean, roasted coffee, and subtle sweet tobacco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and beautifully balanced.
