Muga Rioja Reserva 2022 is a classic expression of Rioja Alta, produced by the renowned family-owned Bodegas Muga in Haro, Spain. Known for its traditional winemaking approach and in-house cooperage, the estate combines carefully selected grapes with thoughtful oak maturation to create wines of depth, balance and complexity.
Made from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano, the 2022 vintage comes from vineyards rooted in calcareous clay soils around Haro. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in wooden vats under controlled temperatures, preserving the character and aromatic intensity of the fruit.
The wine is aged for 24 months in oak casks crafted at the winery's own cooperage, using 80% French oak and 20% American oak. It then spends at least 12 months in bottle before release, allowing the flavours and structure to integrate.
The result is a richly flavoured yet balanced Rioja Reserva, with expressive fruit, subtle earthy notes, silky tannins and a long, elegant finish.
