Grenache & Viura
Rioja, Spain
Wines that are born from inspiration and authenticity.
In Muga, we always use the finest materials and are open to new techniques that provide greater quality without losing authenticity. To produce each of our wines, we continue opting for traditional procedures:
· Through the natural process of fining, we eliminate the suspended particles that appear in the wine.
· We carry out the decanting by the traditional method of gravity.
We are the only cellar in Spain with a master cooper and three in-house barrel-makers.
SOIL
Principally calcareous clay from the Valle del Oja zone and ferrous clay in the Upper Najerilla valley zone.
VINIFICATION
Manual harvesting. After light maceration in the press for 5 hours, the must ferments at a controlled temperature of around 16-18ºC for 15-20 days. This allows us to preserve the maximum freshness, complexity and aromatic intensity of the grapes from which it is made. Once fermentation is complete, it remains 16 weeks with its fine lees in suspension, which will provide greater smoothness and length on the palate. Before bottling it undergoes cold stabilization.
TASTING
A pale pink color wine.
It displays a very intense, complex array of aromas on the nose in which we can detect floral aromas (rose petals), stone fruit (apricot and peach skin), citrus (mandarin), strawberry and a touch of hazelnut.
It has a very well-balanced mouth-feel with pleasant acidity which gives the attack a certain fruitiness. The wine evolves perfectly on the palate with a long, refreshing, fruity finish. A rosé wine with good structure and surprising complexity.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with seafood, pasta and rice dishes and salads. Great to drink by the glass as a starter or with a small snack on a terrace.
