Description

12 bottles of Rioja Muga Blanco 2016 - This white balances spicy oak and floral quince flavors. Made with 90% Viura (an indigenous Riojan grape) and 10% Malvasia, this wine is first slow-fermented in new French oak and aged three months. The palate is perfectly balanced: plush on one hand, but with great balancing bitterness/acidity on the other. Medium-bodied and quite flavorful; enjoy this with zesty shrimp or chicken dishes. 13% ABV

Special Instructions

Bodegas Muga is a family firm founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora CaƱo. The first wines were made in an underground cellar, until in 1968 they decided to set up their own winery in a beautiful old 19th-century town-house situated in the city of Haro. The Bodegas Muga outstanding feature is that it always uses the finest materials, combining tradition with the latest advances in winemaking so as always to give its wines the very best quality without losing authenticity. Indeed, it is the only wine cellar in Spain which employs its own master cooper and coopers, who make all the vats for the cellar as well as the oak casks. The winery remains true to traditional winemaking methods such as racking the casks by gravity and fining the wine with fresh egg whites. Bodegas Muga has succeeded in combining the purest family tradition with an updated vision of the future which has allowed them to preserve their own personality and character.
