The Muga family's flagship wine Prado Enea Gran Reserva steals the spotlight so often that it's possible to forget they do a stunning Reserva - Seleccion Especial. It's such a treat to be able to include a wine of this quality and pedigree in our Merchant's Collection, especially knowing the love, care and attention that goes into every aspect of its production. Muga Selección Especial Reserva is a stunning, limited edition Reserva that is only made in the very best years. Bodegas Muga is one of the most famous wineries in Rioja and it’s no surprise why, their wines are sublime. With an area of around 25,000 square metres, it is home to both the most traditional winemaking methods and the latest cutting-edge techniques. Bodegas Muga was founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and his wife, Aurora Caño. Both Isaac and Aurora came from winemaking families and had grown up ensconced in the winemaking industry. Creating their own winery, the couple has taken it from strength to strength and over the years, Muga wines have gained international recognition and acclaim. The Bodegas Muga vineyards are situated on the east and south-facing slopes of the Obarenes Mountains, located in the northern region of the province of La Rioja, in the Oja and Tirón river valleys in the sub-region of the Qualified Designation of Origin known as La Rioja Alta. The River Oja Valley (RIOJA) enjoys a unique climate, not only thanks to its location surrounded by climatic influences but also due to the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental climatic elements. These influences combine harmoniously to create ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes. Bodegas Muga’s focus on long growth cycles ensures the grapes reach a delicate, prolonged and complex state of ripeness which is, without a doubt, the key to the region’s potential for producing some of the world’s most exquisite wines.
