Description

Bodegas Muga, Haro, Rioja Alta

Decanter Rioja Report: May 2025

Muga, Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2016 has been awarded 96 points.

"A classic gran reserva with an elegant profile and subtle evolution. It still offers delicious raspberry and red berry fruits, slightly jammy but in the best sense of the word. Tannins are soft and round, and the oak is now perfectly integrated. Quite spice on the finish, it's lively, with lots of life ahead. Sourced from fairly high vineyards at 550-600m, in three villages in the northwest corner of Rioja Alta, Tempranillo and Garnacha with Mazuelo and Graciano were fermented in oak vats, with 14-16 days of maceration, followed by at least 36 months' ageing in American and French oak casks. After light fining, the wine was bottled and remained in the cellar for at least a further 36 months."

The vineyards are located in the Oja and Tiro river valleys of La Rioja Alta but the winery is based on the outskirts of Haro, the historical home of Rioja's most prestigious bodegas. Bodegas Muga was created in 1932 and over the years Muga wines have gained international recognition and acclaim.

Meticulously faithful to their traditional wine-making methods, Muga use the classic Rioja grape mix - Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano which are vinified in French and American oak vats before being aged in French and American oak casks. The wines therefore spend 48 months in oak followed by 3 years in the cellars before being released.

The result is a dark and brooding wine with intense aromas of leather, tobacco and spice. Although the Prado Enea is powerful and full bodied it remains incredibly delicate and seductive, with a harmonious fruit and subtle oakiness and a very long and distinctive finish.
