Muga Blanco 2022
Descripción
Dominado por la Viura, variedad apreciada por su buen comportamiento en madera, este vino representa la esencia del vino blanco riojano con el particular toque que le aportan la Malvasía y la Garnacha blanca. Untuoso y, al mismo tiempo, fresco, su fermentación en barrica y breve crianza posterior con las lías potenciaron su complejidad y equilibrio.

Opinión de los críticos
The entry-point Muga Blanco is a well-judged assemblage of Viura with 15% Garnacha Blanca and a higher than usual 10% Malvasía Blanca from six different villages in the Rioja Alta. Citrus and green apple flavours are framed by aromatic wood spices. 2024-26.
The white 2022 Blanco, 70% Viura with the rest mostly Garnacha Blanca, has a significant percentage of ripe Malvasía Riojana (a grape that doesn't ripen well every year), and it might have given it an extra kick of acidity. They blend wine from barrel and tank, which they started doing in 2016, and reduce the effect of the oak, especially the toast. They have discarded Tempranillo Blanco. This is still fresh and balanced, ripe and powerful, with 14% alcohol, but it keeps a low pH. It’s clean and tasty, with a spicy twist but no obvious oak. They have made a lot of white wine, and demand keeps increasing. 255,000 bottles produced!
