The wine

Muga Aro is a homage to the Rioja's wine capital, Haro, although without the 'h'. A wine along the lines of Torre Muga, robust, dense, powerful... yet without losing any of the elegance and complexity typical of this company's wines, and thus aiming to achieve the greatest possible excellence: for the production of this wine the best vines have been chosen from among vineyards aged over 60 years old.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

No 2017 or 2018 were produced of this luxury cuvée made with up to 30% Graciano to complement the Tempranillo from the villages of Labastida, Briñas and Villalba, so from the impressive 2016 I tasted in June 2019, we jumped to the 2019 Aro. The destemmed grapes went through optical sorting and fermented in small oak vats with indigenous yeasts followed by malolactic in new barrels, where the wine matured for 16 months. It's not a shy wine at 14.6% alcohol, and the Graciano provides extra acidity and vibrancy. It has great balance and a spark of acidity and is a very complete wine, with great aromatics and integrated oak (all new barrels, but better integrated than ever); it has the ripeness of Graciano, which ripens with low yields and only ripens thoroughly in given vintages, and they had to skip warm years like 2011 when some varieties like Graciano and Mazuelo didn't behave well. This is the finest Aro so far. 5,800 bottles were filled in July 2021.
