Tasting notes of Muga Crianza

• Appearance: Muga Crianza has a cherry red color.
• Nose: On the nose, black and red fruits are perceived, defined and very dominant (blackberry, red currant, wild plum). When we swirl the glass, fine leathers begin to unfold mixed with the fruit. In the background, and only as a complement, selected oak spices unfold, still distinguishable but in close conjunction with the wine.
• Palate: The entry on the palate is the most outstanding feature of this vintage: juicy, fleshy, dominant, wide, mineral, structured, elegant... there are no more adjectives. Despite everything, it is in an incipient state of integration, we find slight tannic appendages that will round off in the short term.

Pairing

Muga Crianza is ideal to accompany roasts and Rioja-style potatoes. It is recommended to serve this red wine at a temperature between 16 and 18°C.
