The fruit is concentrated and powerful, with a juicy, inky texture and a remarkable tannic load – yet so sweet it feels almost like a caress. A wine of volume and impact, while maintaining very good shape and delineation, lifted by an extra layer of acidity that gives it real ageing potential. Muga has clearly shifted this wine from a more traditional, aromatically open style to a distinctly modern expression of Rioja\u003c\/em\u003e\" \u003cbr\u003e✍️ Jancis Robinson \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend of \u003cspan\u003eTempranillo, Garnacha tinta, Graciano and Mazuelo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAged \u003cspan\u003e26 months in French oak \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJancis Robinson | 17.5\/20 Pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTim Atkin | 96\/100 Pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Parker | 94\/100 Pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:  \u003c\/strong\u003eDrink now to 2040\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing: \u003c\/strong\u003e It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops with garlic and rosemary or slow-roasted Ibérico pork with smoked paprika and roasted peppers.

The majority of their vineyard holdings are located in Rioja Alta, a relatively high altitude location which is heavily influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic. This brings a freshness and vitality to the resultant wines. Established in the 1930s Muga are one of the great success stories of Spanish wine. Their output is formidable with zero compromise on quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/rioja\"\u003eBrowse our Rioja Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58810343883096,"sku":"600324","price":46.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/muga-seleccion-especial-2021-rioja-red-wine-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1794314168","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/bodegas-muga-seleccion-especial-reserva-2021","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
