Jorge Muga told me he's very proud of their 2013 Reserva, which he considers the most challenging vintage he's seen: cold, rain, botrytis, vigor, mud ... horrible! They only produced this Reserva, there's no Selección Especial Torre Muga or Prado Enea, and they even produced less than the average volume of this bottling. This is the year they introduced optical sorting for the grapes, and they reckon that really helped to achieve the quality of this wine. In this price range and volume, it has to be one of the best wines in Rioja in 2013. It has the classical Muga character, polished and drinkable. 700,000 bottles produced.

Plum, tobacco, tea and spice flavors mingle in this plump red. Light tannins and orange peel acidity lend focus. Shows balance and harmony. Drink now through 2021. 10,000 cases made, 8,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
