Muga Reserva Seleccion Especial Rioja DOCa

The Muga Reserva Selection Special unites notes of black fruit, balsamic nuances and a fine spice (white pepper) in its wonderfully multi-layered bouquet. The bouquet is complemented by roast aromas, hints of coffee and a fine minerality. This elegant blend, consisting of Tempranillo and smaller percentages of Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, is velvety and silky on the palate, with noticeable but wonderfully integrated tannins, a remarkable freshness and a lovely acidity. The finish of this full-bodied wine is long-lasting.

The Muga Reserva Selection Special matured for 26 months in oak casks. It is a wonderful accompaniment to grilled red meat and lamb.

Bodegas Muga

Die Bodegas Muga zählt zu den Ausnahmeweingütern im Rioja. Seit 1932 im Weinbau tätig, hat sich das spanische Weingut mit nie nachlassender Akribie einen klangvollen Namen in der gesamten Weinwelt erarbeitet. Das in Haro beheimatete Weingut (etwa 100 Kilometer südlich von Bilbao) setzt auf einen weitestgehend natürlichen Anbau der Trauben. Die Lese erfolgt mit größter Sorgfalt. Beim Ausbau der Weine kommen Fässer aus der hauseigenen Küferei zum Einsatz. Selbst im Rioja ist es eine große Ausnahme, dass auch dieser Bereich der Weinproduktion in den Händen des Weingutes liegt. Muga leistet sich die Küferei ganz bewusst, um die Qualität der eigenen Kreationen vollständig bestimmen zu können.

Der Erfolg gibt den drei Geschwistern Isabel, Isaac und dem Hauptverantwortlichen Manuel Muga Pena, die seit 1969 an der Spitze der Bodegas Muga stehen, recht. Die bekanntesten Weinkritiker aus aller Welt verleihen den Muga-Weinen immer wieder Höchstwerte. Weine wie Torre Muga oder Prado Enea Gran Reserva zählen zur Spitze der internationalen Weinbaukunst. Auch wenn der Fokus von Muga ganz eindeutig auf Rotweinen liegt, produziert das Weingut auch exzellente Weißweine wie den Muga Blanco Rioja.

Entdecken Sie die Welt der Muga-Weine und damit das Sortiment eines Weingutes, das weltweit zu den renommiertesten zählt.

Product recommendation

Muga Reserva Rioja DOCa
The Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano grape varieties unite here to create the wonderful Muga Reserva Rioja. This red wine is redolent of blackberries and fennel, complemented by fine roast aromas and lovely nuances of vanilla, coffee and white chocolate. The Rioja is impressively full-bodied and aromatic on the palate, offering the fruitiness of berries, hints of menthol and an elegant acidity. The finish is long-lasting. The Muga Reserva Rioja matured for 24 months in oak casks (medium toast) and for at least another 12 months in the bottle. Try this Rioja with veal, cold cuts (pork) or rather hearty stews, for example. The wine is also available in 1.5- and 0.375-litre bottles.

Roda Sela
The Roda Sela has a deep, red colour with bluish red hues throughout.In the nose there is a very expressive red fruit bouquet, especially ripe red cherry, with a nutty edge reminiscent of almonds and broken cherry bones. The wine is medium bodied, with scant presence of the oak adding to the feeling of lightness and freshness it provides.On the palate it is silky smooth, medium bodied, very fresh, well textured with no troughs. The oak is hardly evident, with round, well integrated tannins, giving way to a lingering finish of seasoned red fruits that make it light and fresh.  In this case Iadding youth and freshness to the depth and ripeness of the seasoned fruit so prevalent in this vintage.

It’s still young. It's never a dark wine, more of a ruby or bright colour, and it has a nose of youth, subtle and elegant. But the quality shows in the unbelievable elegance and harmony on the palate, where the tannins are very fine, the flavours are subtle but deep and the length is just phenomenal.’Eighty per cent Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and smaller percentages of Mazuelo and Graciano unite here in outstanding interaction. Each grape variety was separately aged in wooden casks. The Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva Rioja matured for 36 months in French oak casks. You’ll enjoy discovering a red wine that ranks among the top wines of the world.
