MUGA | WHITE 2024 75cl

Product Sheet – Muga Blanco 2024

Muga Blanco 2024 is a delicate ode to the soul of Rioja, a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Malvasía, born in Haro, where the Oja and Najerilla valleys whisper over clay-calcareous and ferrous soils. A white wine fermented in oak that embraces Atlantic elegance and classic structure.

The harvest is done manually, followed by a light maceration with the skins in the press. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats and new French oak barrels (Nevers district, very light toast). After this, the wine rests for 4 months on its lees, with frequent bâtonnage to refine its volume and smoothness.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw yellow color. On the nose, it is complex and elegant, with notes of citrus —lemon, lemon pie—, white flowers, stone fruit, and a subtle echo of vanilla. On the palate, it reveals itself fresh, with balanced volume, where citrus, flower, stone fruit, and vanilla return, culminating in a very long and pleasant finish. Its vibrant acidity supports a structure of enveloping roundness.

Food Pairing

Perfect for grilled fish, seafood, seafood rice dishes, or as an aperitif. Also ideal with delicate dishes and terrace tapas.

Muga Blanco 2024 is the harmony of tradition and freshness, an ode to the soils of Haro and French oak, designed to charm from the first glass.
