Muga Reserva Rioja 2020
Muga Reserva Rioja 2020 is a distinguished red wine from the Rioja region in Spain, produced by the renowned Bodegas Muga. Established in 1932, Bodegas Muga is celebrated for its traditional winemaking techniques, including the use of indigenous yeasts, fermentation in wooden vats, and ageing in oak barrels crafted by their in-house cooperage. This dedication to craftsmanship has solidified their reputation for producing complex and age-worthy wines.
The 2020 vintage is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. The wine underwent fermentation in oak vats, followed by maturation for 24 months in predominantly French oak barrels, and an additional 12 months in bottle before release. This meticulous process contributes to its depth and complexity.
Appearance: Bright ruby-red hue with medium depth and a garnet rim.
Aroma: Intense and complex, featuring primary fruit aromas of raspberry and blackberry, intertwined with secondary notes of vanilla and liquorice, and subtle hints of chocolate and ripe fruit.
Taste: Full-bodied and well-structured, the palate mirrors the nose with flavours of wild forest fruits, complemented by nuances of ground coffee, black olive, orange peel, and cocoa. The wine exhibits good acidity and soft tannins, leading to a harmonious balance.
Finish: Long and fruity, with a lingering persistence that reflects its quality and ageing potential.
Food Pairing: This Reserva pairs excellently with well-aged steak, charcuterie, casseroles, and aged cheeses, where its rich flavours and structure complement the depth of these dishes.
