Reserva Rioja DOCa 1,5 l Magnum - Bodegas Muga

The Reserva Rioja 1.5 l Magnum from Bodegas Muga in La Rioja shows a dense, ruby-red color when swirled in the glass. This Spanish cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries in the glass. Added to this are hints of leather, toasted wood, and vanilla.

The Bodegas Muga Reserva Rioja 1.5 l Magnum presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This red wine never appears rough or austere, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly silky texture. Thanks to its moderate acidity, the Reserva Rioja 1.5 l Magnum caresses the palate with a velvety mouthfeel, without lacking juicy liveliness at the same time. On the finish, this well-storable wine from the La Rioja wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, nuances of blackberry appear.

Vinification of the Bodegas Muga Reserva Rioja 1.5 l Magnum

This powerful red wine from Spain is vinified from the grape varieties Carignan, Garnacha, Graciano, and Tempranillo. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Reserva Rioja 1.5 l Magnum is matured for another 24 months in barriques made from French and American oak.
