Muga Selección Especial Rioja Reserva 2020 is a premium, elevated expression of Rioja Reserva, crafted only in top vintages using stricter vineyard selection and extended ageing. Produced by the renowned Bodegas Muga, this wine represents a step above their classic Reserva—offering greater depth, structure, and complexity.
Sourced from older, high-altitude vineyards, the wine undergoes meticulous selection and vinification. It is aged for approximately 26 months in French and American oak, including a portion in new French barriques, resulting in a more refined and layered profile.
The 2020 vintage is highly acclaimed, with 95 points (Jeb Dunnuck) and ~94 points across major critics, highlighting its richness, balance, and ageing potential.
This is a more structured, gastronomic Rioja, ideal for serious wine lovers and collectors.
