.Bodegas Muga is a family firm founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño. 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.

Cask-aged for 14 months, the 2022 El Anden De La Estacion is a youthful, approachable blend of 65% Tempranillo and 35% Garnacha, the first one made in 2016. Fermented using indigenous yeast, it’s left on the lees to soften the texture and accentuate the red and black cherry and berry fruit. It’s quite delightful and impressively well-made for the price point, full-bodied but balanced. Drink now.

With pleasing purity and expressive character, this Tempranillo-Garnacha blend brings together berries and bramble, anise and spice, and savory notes. Balanced structure keeps the wine approachable while layered.

Lots of dark cherries, spices, ink and a touch of chocolate on the nose. Juicy and slightly chewy on the palate, with a medium body and a medium-long finish. Tempranillo and garnacha. Drink now.

The 2022 Crianza Muga El Andén de la Estación is a blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Garnacha from Rioja Alta and was aged for 14 months. The Garnacha dominates in the slightly sanguine nose with sweet and sour cherry, red fruit and a hint of rose, avoiding the more sun-kissed tones in spite of the warm year. Light in the mouth with grippy tannins and a medium body, this is a fruit-driven Rioja in which the year has defined the texture.
