Product Description
Details
This premium Spanish red wine is one of the absolute classics of La Rioja. Indeed, the wine Torre Muga embodies the best qualities of Spain's most important wine region.
The wine is produced by Bodegas Muga, one of the very few wineries in the region that still builds the oak barrels it uses in its own cooperage.
It is made from Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. These grapes constitute the DNA of classic Rioja.
After a meticulous harvest, they were destemmed and macerated for 3 weeks in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and no temperature control. Then the wine Torre Muga 2021 was aged for 16-18 months in French oak barrels.
Finally, this Reserva red wine was clarified with egg whites and bottled in October 2023.
Decant this Rioja red wine a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.
37,355 bottles produced.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Torre Muga is medium purple with a reddish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | An enchanting, superbly expressive blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Blackberry preserve, cocoa, vanilla and liquorice, combined with aromas of wild herbs, toast, Havanna cigars, cedar, clove, cinnamon and leather. Complex and everchanging. |
| Palate | Wow! This red wine from Bodegas Muga is textured and refined. Pure notes of red and black fruit, nicely balanced with remembrances of herbs, flowers, dry earth and spices. Crisp, tense acidity, smooth tannins and extremely long finish with some herbal and toasted remembrances. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Torre Muga 2021 is simply monumental. Pair with game dishes, red meat or a high-quality white fish, such as a sea bass. |
