Murua Reserva 2017 is the truest expression of Rioja Alavesa and the rich tradition of Bodegas Murua. This red wine comes from vineyards that grow in clay-limestone soils, where the Tempranillo variety intertwines with small amounts of Graciano and Mazuelo. The result is a balanced and profound wine. With meticulous production and aging of 20 months in French and American oak barrels, it matures in the bottle cellar for a minimum of 4 years. When served, it displays an attractive cherry-red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, its aromas are elegant and complex, with notes of strawberries, sweet spices, cocoa, and cedar, complemented by herbs like thyme and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is enveloping and balanced, with polished tannins and a harmonious finish that invites enjoyment with red meats, roasted lamb, traditional stews, or cured cheeses. It is recommended to serve between 15 and 17 ºC to fully enjoy its complexity. This wine is a refined classic.
