Description
92 points Vinous
The 2024 Blanco Muga combines Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvas??a from Rioja. The crisp, intense nose is fragrant with tropical nuances of apple and pear. This is dry, with a crisp freshness and creamy texture, combining richness and energy to produce a modern white Rioja. The finish is restrained but fruit-forward.Very fresh with aromas of lemon pith, white grapefruit, crushed shells and slate. Some biscuits and salted yellow plums. Medium-bodied with beautiful minerality and freshness. Vivid finish. 5 months sur lie with battonage in the fermentation vessel.A traditional barrel fermented white wine from Rioja, produced with a blend of the most important indigenous white varieties of the region. The wine is composed practically of all Viura and Malvas??a, but there is a tiny quantity of Garnacha Blanca which adds complexity and aromatics. Typical and traditional in its blend and production, but unique in its higher levels of freshness and approachability at a young age compared to other whites from Rioja.
