Muga 2022
Descripción
Muga es un crianza que en realidad es un reserva (así se le conoce de hecho en el mercado internacional) por su larga estancia en barrica durante 22 meses. Está elaborado con una mezcla de variedades clásicas riojanas: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo y Graciano, y se muestra equilibrado, muy largo y frutal, con una estructura que permitirá guardarlo unos años más. Los que no quieran esperar, disfrutarán ya de su deliciosa nariz de arándanos y moras y de sus toques especiados.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2022 Reserva, sold as Crianza in Spain, has more tertiary notes than other people's Gran Reserva, even though it has a very classical profile. It is mostly Tempranillo with some Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano from vineyards no more than 25 kilometers from the winery in Haro, cropped from a warm and dry year. Here, what they did was wait; it rained a little, the plants unblocked and they had the patience to wait for the grapes to ripen fully. So, the grapes were in a very healthy state, and winemaker Isaac Muga likes to ferment the grapes destemmed and lightly crushed in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and then mature the wine in 90% French and 10% American oak barrels for 22 months, with racking every eight to nine months. It has good ripeness, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.59 and 5.45 grams of acidity, and it's medium- to full bodied, concentrated but sleek and polished, with fine-grained tannins, very supple flavors and a chalky finish. It still has some toasty notes in the finish that should integrate with a little bit more time. 945,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025. They are very happy with 2022, and they even produced Prado Enea and a tiny quantity of Aro.

Excellente
Excelente como siempre.
Sin duda, estamos ante uno de esos vinos de los que puede afirmarse sin duda a equivocarse que vale mucho más de lo que cuesta. Nunca falla.
Valor seguro, no hay botella mala. Temazo. Riojaca de cojones. Clásico molón. El amigo que nunca falla. Dame otra!!!!
