Rose Wine: 2021 | Bodegas Muga | Rosado

Just a hint of lemon appears on the subtle nose. On the palate this opens up into more lemon and also more ripeness. There is a peppery, spicy note and much zestiness that is reminiscent of grapefruit. The finish is dry and both zesty and savoury.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The pink 2021 Rosado was produced mostly with Garnacha and some Viura that fermented in small oak vats and was kept with the lees that were worked for 16 weeks. It’s pale, subtle and fresh in this approachable and cool vintage. It’s floral, elegant and precise, with a faint bitter twist in the finish. 2021 is a very good vintage for whites and ross. 301,200 bottles produced. It was bottled at different times from one single master blend.

• James Suckling: This is a pretty ros with sliced cherry, orange peel and peach. Medium body and very bright, with fresh acidity and graphite and mineral undertones. Jazzy acidity. 60% grenache, the rest viura. Co-fermented.

Producer Information

Bodegas Muga is a family-owned wine estate, founded in 1932 in the Rioja region of Spain. It is particularly known for its traditional style Reserva wines that are only produced in vintages of utmost quality. The famous bodega has approximately 250 hectares (617 acres) of vineyards around Rioja a majority of which are around the town of Haro where the winery is based. Fruit for the top wines tends to come from the familys original Baltracones vineyard, where the chalky, alluvial soils are well-suited to Tempranillo and Garnacha. The Muga wine portfolio is led by the Prado Enea Gran Reserva, a red-blend of Tempranillo, Grenache, Mazuelo and Graciano. After fermentation in large oak vats, the Reserva is aged for an additional 36 months in barrel prior to release. Tempranilllo and Graciano feature heavily in the remaining reds and the portfolio is completed by a selection of ross, several Cavas, and oaked white-blends from the Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Maturana grape varieties. Muga’s winery has four fermentation rooms with wooden vats varying considerably in capacity, allowing the winemakers to process different parcels of grapes separately. Oak is important in the winemaking process Muga is one of the few producers in Spain with its own cooperage.
