Muga Reserva Selección Especial 2019

The Muga Reserva Selección Especial 2019 is a high-quality red wine produced by Bodegas Muga, a prestigious winery located in the La Rioja region of Spain. This wine belongs to the reserve category, which means that it has spent a significant period of aging both in oak barrels and in bottle before being released to the market.

Muga Reserva Selección Especial is made primarily from Tempranillo grapes, a variety indigenous to the La Rioja region, along with a small percentage of Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. These grapes are grown in selected vineyards, where sustainable viticulture practices are applied to guarantee the quality and unique expression of the terroir.

As for the winemaking process, the grapes are fermented in oak vats at controlled temperatures, which allows the grapes' characteristic flavors and aromas to be extracted. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for approximately 26 months. Additional bottle aging is also carried out before release to allow the flavors and aromas to integrate and develop further.

Muga Reserva Selección Especial 2019 stands out for its balance and elegance. In the glass, it presents an intense red color with violet reflections. On the nose, it displays a wide range of aromas, where notes of ripe fruits such as cherries and plums intertwine with spicy, toasted and balsamic notes from its time in oak.

On the palate, this wine shows a well-defined structure, with soft, round tannins that give it a pleasant body. Its flavor is complex and persistent, with a blend of ripe fruit, spices and hints of vanilla. The finish is long and rewarding, leaving a sensation of elegance and harmony.
