Product Description

Details

The red wine Muga Crianza is a all-time Rioja classic produced by Bodegas Muga. Despite its name, it could well be considered a Reserva because of its long ageing process.

This elegant Spanish red wine from La Rioja is a blend of Tempranillo and Grenache, plus a 10% of Mazuela (Carignan) & Graciano.

After the harvest, the grapes were destemmed, macerated, and fermented in wooden tanks using indigenous yeasts. Then this Crianza red wine was aged for 22 months in 20% American and 80% French oak barrels built in the winery cooperage.

Finally, the wine Muga Crianza 2021 was clarified with egg whites and aged for a further 9 months prior to its commercial release.

Decant this red wine from La Rioja 30 minutes before drinking.

Additional Information

Additional Information

Appearance	Bright and clean, Muga Crianza is medium ruby with a purplish rim.
Nose	Clean and expressive, this blend of Tempranillo, Grenache, Mazuela and Graciano carries loads of red fruit, a touch of aniseed and fennel, and some smokey and balsamic nuances, as well as hints of coffee, leather and toast.
Palate	This is a purebred Rioja Crianza. Smooth, long and detailed, with an excellent acidity and a nice balance between fruit and oak. This wine of Bodegas Muga has a delicate mineral background and a long finish with remembrances of toast and wild berries.
Our personal opinion	This is an exemplary, utterly satisfying Rioja red wine. Just pop a bottle and enjoy Muga Crianza 2021.
