Muga - Seleccion Especial - Rioja
Description
Overview: In Muga, we always use the finest materials and are open to new techniques that provide greater quality without losing authenticity. To produce each of our wines, we continue opting for traditional procedures: Through the natural process of fining, we eliminate the suspended particles that appear in the wine. We carry out the decanting by the traditional method of gravity. We are the only cellar in Spain with a master cooper and three in-house barrel-makers.
Tasting Notes: This Special Selection Reserva exhibits a medium-deep, dense garnet/black cherry color. The nose is complex with ripe, red berry and black fruit
coming to the fore with hints of black pepper and subtle, creamy, smoky oak, followed by notes of coffee and a touch of mint. The entry on the palate is smooth and elegant and develops with good volume towards an elegant, harmonious mid-palate revealing fresh, ripe red berry fruits and spice. The whole is underpinned by a powerful tannic structure and fresh acidity. This powerful yet elegant Reserva offers great ageing
potential.
Pairing: This wine will go well with red meats, lamb and all types of game dishes.
