Muga Selección Especial is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases the heart of the Rioja region. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of seventy percent Tempranillo, twenty percent Garnacha, five percent Mazuelo, and five percent Graciano, this wine is a delightful expression of its terroir. The 2010 vintage reveals a deep ruby hue that captures the eye, while the nose offers enticing aromas of dark fruit, spice, and subtle oak.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
