Prado Enea Gran Reserva Muga 2016 Rioja

Elaboration

Clay-limestone soils with alluvial deposits at an altitude of 550 meters. In addition to our Torre Muga brand, the Prado Enea harvest is always the last to arrive at the winery. It is selected from plots and vineyards located in the Villalba de Rioja region at the foot of the Obarenes Mountains, offering high-quality, south-facing terroir. The grapes are fermented in oak tanks without temperature control or the addition of yeasts. Maceration lasts 16 days. This is followed by at least 36 months in barrels, typically French oak. At the end of the aging period, the wine is lightly clarified with fresh egg white before being bottled and stored for at least another 36 months in our cellars to complete the aging process.

Tasting

This Gran Reserva Prado Enea displays an attractive, deep and intense cherry-red color.

On the nose, it is immediately expressive, revealing seductive and complex aromas that are both delicate and elegant. Subtle notes of creamy oak mingle with a wide array of red and black berries, along with hints of licorice and toast.

The initial taste on the palate is smooth, followed by a medium body with a silky, fleshy, and rounded texture, balanced by a pleasant freshness. With its ripe, refined tannins and fine acidity, this Gran Reserva can be enjoyed now, but has the potential to age beautifully for several years.

This wine marida bien con guisos, platos de carne y queso, pudiendo ser incluso disfrutado por sí solo, sin ningún acompañamiento.
