New Rose: Muga

Muga, Rioja, Spain.

·         60% Garnacha, 30% Viura, 10% Tempranillo

·         Viura is a white grape that is widely planted in Rioja. Its also known as macabeo.

·         Muga winery has been producing wines for 200 years in the Rioja Alta region of Spain. The soil consists mainly of clay and limestone, which is conducive to making good wines. The climate, a combination of Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Continental climates, is also favorable  to the production of wine.

·         Tasting Note: A pleasant nose of stone fruits with a touch of minerality. For a rose, it has a bit more body than usually expected. In the mouth, fruit notes are balanced by a bit of minerality. It has a pleasant acid structure, yet finishes dry. Great for a summer day on the patio!
