The wine: This delicious Crianza El Andén de la Estación (The wharf from the station) from Maison Muga constitutes superb value for money to happily introduce yourself to the wines of this flagship region that is Rioja. Here, fruit and elegance are highlighted and underlined by aging for 14 months in oak barrels. The texture is smooth, the tannins round and a rich and complex aromatic unfolds on the nose and on the palate.  Cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant mingle with notes of vanilla, tobacco and cedar in a beautiful length. A wine to pair with tapas, white and red meats. ¡ Salud!

The estate: Family estate created in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, the Bodega Muga is today a true emblem of wine-growing Spain and more particularly of Rioja. Today the owner of 250 hectares (and also sourcing from 150 ha of partner winegrowers), the operation is the only one in the country to have its own coopers, allowing it to perfectly control the breeding of its vintages by adapting the types of wood and the toasting of the barrels to the personality of each wine. The Tempranillo grape variety is the star of the farm alongside Grenache, Mazuelo (Carignan) and Graciano for the reds. Discover their authentic, elegant and generous wines representing the best of the classicism of the Rioja region.
