The 2024 vintage was strongly influenced by the climate conditions, particularly towards the end of the cycle. The 2024 Muga Rosado has a beautiful pale pink colour. On the nose, it has medium-high intensity and great complexity in the aromas, with a first impression of notes of peach peel, stone fruit and a hint of white blossom. On the palate, it is a very well-balanced wine, with a marked, sharp acidity perfectly integrated with the sense of body in the mouth. It has a long finish, bringing back reminders of peach, with slight citrus nuances.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Located in the town of Haro, one of the world's most wine-producing cities, Bodegas Muga is a family-run winery and one of La Rioja's historic estates. They produce a range of high-quality wines, including this delicious rosé that ranked highly in our annual Best Rosé Wine Awards. Muga Rosado is made from a blend of Grenache, Viura, and Tempranillo, typical Rioja grapes, from the estate's vineyards, grown at an altitude of 480 meters. On the nose, the wine is charming, with aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, lemons, and nectarines, enhanced by floral notes. On the palate, the wine is dry, clean, delicate, and invigorating, with a frank acidity that brings plenty of freshness to the wine. Versatile and easy to drink."
