Muga
Muga is located in the historic Barrio de la Estación district (railways station district) in Haro, Rioja, where some of the oldest vineyards in the Old World are located. While Muga was established in 1932, it is one of the strongest brands in its appellation based on quality and consistency. They produce nearly 1.5 million bottles each year from their 250 hectares of vineyards, which reach over 70 countries. Muga’s winemaking is classical in their approach to winemaking utilizing malolactic fermentation and aging in oak.
They are also world renowned for their award winning facilities that attract tourists from all over the globe. If you find yourself in Rioja, give them a visit!
Tasting Notes
- WA92
- Raised for 16 months in French oak and inspired by the family’s respect for Bordeaux, the 2009 Torre Muga has a very primal bouquet with creme de cassis, black currant and vanilla with fine delineation, although it is very tight at the moment. The palate is full-bodied with grippy, bold, assertive tannins and layers of dense black, mocha-tinged fruit with hints of white pepper. It has great power and volume without compromising balance, although it requires several years in bottle. Drink 2018-2035.
- WS92
- This muscular red delivers savory flavors of dried herb, anise and loamy earth, with ripe cherry and blackberry fruit, backed by firm tannins that give way to a smoky finish. Nicely focused. Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made.
