GRAPES Viura, Garnacha blanca and MalvasÃa de Rioja SOIL Mainly calcareous clay from the Valle del Oja district and ferrous clay from the Upper Najerilla Valley. VINIFICATION Hand-harvested. After light maceration of the must with the skins in the press, this ferments in different sized wooden vats and new French-oak casks with very lightly toasted wood sourced from the Nevers region. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine remains for 4 months in the casks, with lees stirring or “bâtonage†twice per week during the first months and once a day during the final month, so as to keep the fine lees in contact with the wine to protect it from oxygen and to give a smoother mouth-feel and more complexity. TASTING The 2023 vintage of Muga Blanco has a pale, straw-yellow colour. On the nose proves a complex wine with aniseed and citrus notes, such as lemon and lemon cake, a touch of white blossom and even some vanilla nuances. On the palate the crisp acidity is well balanced by the volume. This is a complex wine in which the citrus and floral notes reappear, together with stone fruit and a very long finish. FOOD PAIRING A perfect match for grilled fish, shellfish and rice dishes, among others. Ideal for enjoying by the glass, as an aperitif or together with a small snack on a terrace.
