Muga Sélection Spéciale Reserva 2021
Description
Un classique de La Rioja qui, millésime après millésime, se modernise pour offrir un profil plus complet et plus frais. Il présente désormais une puissance fruitée accrue et un boisé parfaitement intégré, mais les plus patients seront largement récompensés de leur attente grâce à son grand potentiel d'Élevage. Un vin rouge exceptionnel, tout simplement remarquable.

L'avis des experts
The 2021 Selección Especial, is always their most gastronomical red, produced with a blend of the four traditional varieties from Rioja—Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano. The grapes fermented in oak vats with moderate extraction, and the wine matured in French oak barrels built by their coopers for 26 months, with racking every eight to nine months. Like many others, they are in love with the wines from 2021, a year that was not easy but produced vibrant wines with lots of freshness and a combination of power and elegance. This wine has evolved over the years, going more toward a selection of vineyards rather than a selection of barrels, which is how it started. It combines classical and more modern characteristics in a fantastic vintage that is evolving very nicely in bottle; they called it a traditional Rioja with a bit of rock and roll! It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.56 and 5.91 grams of acidity and fine-grained tannins. It's very tasty, savory and almost salty. 290,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024 after being fined with egg whites.
Fresh, plush but restrained with blackberries, cedar, graphite, pine, cocoa powder and incense. The fine wood is closely knit to the deep, vivid black fruit with medium to full body and polished tannins. The lengthy finish is structured and caressing. A blend of tempranillo, garnacha, graciano and mazuelo. Drink or hold. - Zekun Shuai, Senior Editor.
It’s hard to find a bad 2021 Rioja, says Isaac Muga. This wonderful blend of Tempranillo, 18% Garnacha and 3.5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo definitely showcases the superb quality of the vintage. Stylishly aged in 40% new oak, it has lots of colour and intensity, a hint of stylish reduction, vibrant blackberry and dark plum flavours and a sheen of mocha spice. 2027-40

Excelente vino en color, aromas y sabor Frutos rojos compotados, bastante equilibrado
Muy bueno vino, pero el corcho -en alguna botella- se desace por su mala calidad y es una pena
Vino correcto sin exagerar
Espectacular. Recomiendo dejarlo evolucionar un año en bodega
Otro de los grandes Riojas que quedan. Muy solido, equilibrado, poco ácido, fresco. Merece la pena siempre.
