- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 Reserva was aged 24 months in casks made in Muga’s own cooperage (80% French oak, 20% American) and blends Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. On the nose, fine oak tones of cedar, sandalwood and subtle spice frame red and black fruit with balsamic hints. The palate is dry and juicy, with fine, reactive tannins that lend a slightly compact structure. Fruit and gentle grip echo through the finish." 91 Points - Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous Media
- ABOUT THE WINE: The 2022 harvest, which was hot in character with early ripening, produced a wine with great aromatic intensity. A wine with a marked fruity profile, with clean aromas and delicate reminders of the undergrowth. The ageing is very well integrated, enhancing the freshness and complexity. On the palate it is well-balanced, with firm but silky tannins, good structure and a long finish. It stands out for its perfectly balanced acidity and soft tannins. Perfect for enjoying now, but again thanks to its great balance and structure, it can remain in the bottle for several years. Bodegas Muga

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Founded by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño in 1932, Bodegas Muga has been run by three generations that have kept the family legacy alive. Each member of the family brings their passion and dedication to continuing the creation of wines that reflect our tradition and our commitment to quality. From the outset, its hallmark has been the use of the most noble materials, combining the characteristic methods – fining the traditional way with egg whites and racking by gravity – with the most advanced winemaking techniques, with the steadfast aim of producing wines of the maximum quality without compromising the authenticity which defines them. Muga uses oak in the entire winemaking and ageing process. Indeed, it is the only winery in Spain with its own three master cooper and barrel makers, who make the vats and casks in the bodega’s own cooperage. Bodegas Muga
