MUGA | FLOR DE MUGA WHITE 2020 75cl

Product Sheet – Flor de Muga Blanco Reserva 2020

Flor de Muga Blanco Reserva 2020 is a white wine of noble lineage that flourishes in Haro with the stature of the great Rioja whites. A blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Maturana Blanca, born from careful vineyard management and the Muga family tradition, fermented with 'mosto flor' (flower must) and aged in new French oak barrels, then resting for a long time in the bottle. A white wine that combines Atlantic freshness with the depth, complexity, and subtlety that only wood and time can impart.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden yellow color. On the nose, it displays high aromatic complexity, with spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon, light toasting, citrus (grapefruit, lemon peel), and white flowers. On the palate, it is vibrant, with high acidity, silky volume, and perfectly balanced freshness; spices and citrus fruits reappear, culminating in a very long, mineral, slightly phenolic, and saline finish

Notable scores: 95 points James Suckling (“structured, complex... long and evolving”), 94 points Wine Advocate (“electric and almost salty”)

Pairing

Perfect with seafood paellas, grilled fish, sautéed vegetables, mild cheeses, and root-based cuisine. A white with a refined structure, ideal for elevating any meal with its freshness and elegance.

Flor de Muga Blanco Reserva 2020 is a tribute to tradition, diverse vineyards, and true oak expertise: a cellaring white with Atlantic nerve and a Riojan soul.
