ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2019 vintage is noted for its excellent quality, ripeness, power, and finesse, with strong aging potential.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Torre Muga 2019 is produced by Bodegas Muga in Rioja, Spain. The grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation is initiated spontaneously in wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, with maceration lasting two to three weeks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels sourced from the Allier region. Following aging, the wine undergoes a light fining with fresh egg whites.
