Description

On the nose, aromas of high intensity and great complexity unfold, with a predominance of ripe red and dark fruit, mingling with fine spices (clove, cinnamon) and nuances of cedar and cocoa, the result of the long cask ageing. In the mouth, the attack is silky and sappy, with medium body and lively acidity. The tannins are very soft and perfectly integrated, dissolving into a harmonious and balanced mouth-feel. The finish is deep and very long, again with reminders of ripe fruit, sweet spices and slight hints of balsamic herbs. A timeless Gran Reserva, perfect for enjoying now, but with extraordinary cellaring potential.

2019 - 14.5% abv

James Suckling 99 - Tim Atkin MV 97 - Robert Parker 96

The 2019 vintage, classified as Excellent, was very balanced and ripened slowly, marked by a moderately hot and dry climate, with cool nights favouring the complete maturing of the polyphenols, to produce wines with great structure, balance and longevity. A medium-high robe and a bright black-cherry colour.

From vines grown in calcareous clay and alluvial soils at altitudes between 550 and 700 metres. Parcels located in the northwest of the Rioja Alta, in villages like Sajazarra, Cellorigo and Fonzaleche, where the thermal range and good natural drainage give rise to grapes with great freshness and balance.

The grapes for Prado Enea are always the last to be harvested, coming from vineyards grown at altitude and in the last zones in the appellation to ripen. The manual harvesting process involves a double selection, first in the field and then in the bodega, thanks to an optical sorting table. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak vats, with gentle pumping over and maceration for 14-16 days. Then the wine remains for a minimum of 36 months in oak casks, mostly French, but with a small percentage of American oak to enhance the complexity. Prior to bottling it is fined with fresh egg whites and then continues to evolve in the bottle for at least 36 months, achieving its plenitude with a perfect balance of elegance and complexity.

BODEGAS MUGA

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.
