Muga is a byword for quality in Rioja. It's a family estate founded in 1932 and still housed in the historic Barrio de La Estación in Haro. It prides itself on some of the most traditional of red winemaking, as well as the most modern and fresh. As you might imagine Flor de Muga is in the latter camp. The grapes are pure Garnacha, taken from various plots, all planted at 600-750 metres high. In addition, the vines are aged between 70-90 years old, so produce fruit of fabulous intensity. Thanks to the altitude of the vineyards and their continental climate, the wine has amazing mineral freshness. Using only the first free-run juice, vinified plot by plot, then lees aged for creamy roundness, it's very citrusy with delicate summer berries.
