Muga Rioja 2018 Reserva is a red wine made from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes, which are grown in Muga’s own vineyards. This wine is aged in oak barrels for 24 months and then further aged in the bottle for a minimum of 12 months before release. This extended aging process gives the wine its characteristic complexity and depth of flavor. Muga Rioja 2018 Reserva has a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and strawberries, along with hints of vanilla, spices, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a balanced acidity and tannins that are firm yet refined. The flavors are complex and include notes of red and black fruits, vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, with a long and persistent finish. This wine is a great match for red meats, stews, and hard cheeses. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years to further develop its complexity and character.
