Fermentation with indigenous yeast in wooden vats. Aged for 24 months in casks made from our selected oak. The wood is sourced in a proportion of 80% French oak and 20% oak from America. Before bottling the wine is fined using fresh egg whites. It is then left to refine in our bottle cellar for a minimum of 12 months before release for sale.The wine has a bright ruby-red colour with medium depth and a garnet rim. Intense and complex on the nose, where you can find primary fruit aromas of raspberry and blackberry, secondary aromas of vanilla and liquorice and a subtle hint of tertiary aromas such as chocolate and ripe fruit.Very well-balanced on the palate, with good acidity and soft tannins. The finish is long and fruity. Perfect for enjoying now, but also thanks to its great balance and structure, a wine you can lay down for a number of years.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Textbook stuff from the extensive Muga family, this is a pan-regional cuvée of Tempranillo with 30% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, aged in a combination of French and American oak. Youthful, structured and showing the freshness of the cooler, more “Atlantic” 2018 vintage, it’s good to drink now but will also reward some extra time in your wine rack. Textured and balanced, with racy acidity and flavours of liquorice, blackberry and vanilla spice.”93\/100 points, “Wine of the week” by Tim Atkin MW, 13th January 2023.”Aromas of blackberry, vanilla and baking spice set the stage for black cherry, cassis, caramel, clove and violet flavors. Plush tannins and vivid acidity wash over the palate and head into a lengthy finish that is marked with pleasant notes of cedar and smoke.”93\/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, July 2023Also awarded91\/100 points by the “Guia Penin” (Spain), May 2022This wine will make an excellent match for meat dishes, such as T-bone steak, and also with charcuterie and all kinds of casseroles.Muga Reserva Rioja 3 ltr, Rioja, Haro, Spain, 2018\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130130948278,"sku":"14104","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/mugareservarioja3litre2018_14104_01_1a913009_a0c3aba3-9293-4910-a39e-b95849ed5ffc.jpg?v=1779033381","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/mugareservarioja3litre2018-14104","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
