Bodegas Muga Torre Muga 2021

Tasting notes

The 2021 vintage in Rioja, and especially in the Rioja Alta, was characterized by more favorable weather conditions compared to other recent years. This enabled us to obtain very well-balanced red wines with marked expression of the varieties. This is a wine with medium-high robe and an intense red color which denotes its youthful age. Intense aromas in which there is a clear presence of ripe fruit, as well as hints of strawberry and blackberry. These are complemented by the notes provided by the ageing process in high quality, French-oak casks, bringing elegant toasted aromas, coffee and chocolate. On the palate it is a smooth, well-structured wine, with the return of the same notes of fruit and ageing nuances as appeared on the nose. The acidity and alcohol are in perfect balance, so that the sensation as the wine passes through your mouth is harmonious. The tannins are soft and elegant, contributing to a pleasant, silky sensation. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a sensation of satisfaction which underlines the excellent quality of this vintage. You can pair this wine with red meat left to hang for a good time, game or failing that, enjoy it on its own. Blend: 90% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo & Graciano
