About Muga Selección Especial Reserva

Muga Selección Especial Reserva is a great red wine. A classic from D.O. Rioja. It is made by Bodegas Muga in Haro, one of the towns with the highest concentration of wineries in the world.

Muga Selección Especial Reserva is a coupage of Tempranillo (70%), Grenache (20%), Mazuelo (7%) and Graciano (3%). The grapes are grown on estates with mostly clayey-calcerous soils that are situated in the Rioja Alta area, on the foothills of the Obarense mountains. Due to its geography and location it has a particular variety of climates between the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental, which gives the grapes a long and complex ripening.

On their arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo a selection process, discarding the bunches that do not reach the necessary quality standards.

The fermentation takes place in oak deposits with local yeast from their own vineyard. Muga Selección Especial Reserva undergoes a 26 month aging in oak barrels. A barrel so special, that Bodegas Muga is already one of the few wineries left today to continue with their own cooperage in their facilities and continue to make barrels.

After the aging there is a clarification with fresh eggs before it is bottled. Once bottled, Muga Selección Especial Reserva undergoes a fining process of 12 months in the bottle before it is released onto the market.

2016

Muga Selección Especial Reserva 2016 is a richly concentrated red wine exuding scents of ripe fruit, hints of licorice and tobacco, along with spicy undertones. On the palate, it reveals a robust fruitiness and an astonishing acidity that promises longevity. The finish is delightful, extensive, and subtly bitter.
2010 On the palate it is very pleasant and elegant. Sweet and likeable tannins. Good acidity. High fruit presence and certain mineral notes.

High-robe, dense and uniformed with beautiful violet tones.

Complex and elegant on the nose. We can encounter mature red fruit notes with countryside memories and certain mineral touches.
2009 An elegant long wine. It shows an embracing and warm attack and a tasty, silky and aromatic mid palate. A balanced wine with very well balanced tannins and a refreshing and integrated acidity. Long and very persistent finish with a nice spicy and balsamic after-taste.  An elegant and seductive, round wine.

Intense and bright ruby red colour with maroon edges. A wine which shows a high robe and dense slow-falling tears.

Highly intense, complex and elegant nose. Its fragrant, suggestive and expressive aromas of ripe red fruit stand out along with a wide range of sweet and hot spices. When it opens up, some smoky notes, intense toasted hints and animal reminiscences are noticed.

2005 This Muga Reserva Selección Especial is a warm, dense and broad wine. It has a good mid palate, characterized by its smoothness and elegance. The notes of fruit and good quality wood are well assembled. Good presence of tannins. Long and very persistent wine. A round Rioja.

Intense, bright cherry red colour with garnet trims. High robe and dense tears.

Suggestive and elegant aromas. Quite closed at the beginning, but when it opens up it shows very elegant toasted notes and a good presence of red and black fruits. Milky and cocoa notes.
2004

The warm, friendly, syrupy mouth-feel leaves a sensation of fullness and a persistent aftertaste, characterized by the finesse of its tannins and a complex mineral component.



To the eye, shades of purple and garnet.

Initial aromas of pastries, so characteristic of wines with barrel, backed by soft toast from the barrel, wrapped in a background of currant and blackberry fruit.
