Bodegas Muga is one of our favourite producers. There’s so much that is good about the Muga enterprise: they continue to purchase vineyards, taking their total holdings to over 350 hectares, as they firmly believe that contract growers cannot deliver the same quality fruit as those which are estate-owned; they still produce their own barrels on-site, even personally choosing their own trees from specific French forests; and they continue to walk the perfect line between modern methods and traditional style. They are arguably the most dependable – and dependably impressive – producer in Rioja. Whilst they make a range of wines encompassing traditional and modern, our favorites are the Gran Reserva Prado Enea, perhaps the finest traditional-styled Rioja in our range, and the more polished Aro.
