Crianza

1982 Rioja Red Blend

The Muga Crianza from the esteemed 1982 vintage is a captivating red blend that beautifully embodies the essence of Rioja. This wine showcases a deep ruby hue, indicating its rich character and aging potential. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied experience, harmonizing with a vibrant, bright acidity that enhances its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of blackcurrant and ripe cherry, intertwined with subtle hints of spice that add complexity. Tannins are well-structured and firm, providing a solid backbone to the wine while ensuring a smooth mouthfeel. Notably, the Muga Crianza is dry, allowing for a splendid expression of terroir that perfectly complements a range of culinary dishes, from grilled meats to aged cheeses. This wine is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Bodegas Muga and the rich winemaking traditions of the Rioja region.
