A super-impressive 100-point (plus another of 98) Rioja from the iconic family-owned Bodegas Muga. They produce some of the most impressive wines in Rioja, but Aro is their finest release. Full-bodied, powerful, complex and with years ahead of it.

Founded in 1932, Muga is no stranger to 100-point scores for its flagship Aro red, and also wins high marks for its whole range. It's a remarkable cellar, embracing the region’s greatest traditions and combining them with the best of modern technology, all with a gentle hand. They even have a master cooper and three barrel makers to obtain the perfect match of fruit and oak. Only produced in exceptional years, Aro needs no classification. It is made from Tempranillo and Graciano, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and finished with 18 months ageing in new French-oak barrels. Deeply intense blueberries, cassis and plum, with hints of tobacco, woodsmoke and black pepper. Powerful, elegant and beautifully polished. Will benefit from cellaring.
