Muga - Rioja Rose

In 2023, Bodegas Muga crafted this delightful rose wine in Rioja, Spain. Beyond making great - tasting wines, the winery is engaged in diverse projects, from Michelin - starred dining to environmental initiatives like carbon sequestration and forest - based habitat restoration. This fresh rose combines Grenache and Viura (Macabeo). After fermentation, it ages on fine lees for 16 weeks, which gives it a soft and rich texture. The grapes come from the Oja and Najerilla valleys in northwestern Rioja Alta. You'll enjoy lovely aromas of strawberry, peach, and white flowers, with a finish of stone fruit and citrus. Its soft pink hue and complex nose make it a perfect match for Spanish rice dishes or seafood tapas on a terrace.

To enjoy this wine, simply chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours. It's best served at around 8 - 10 degrees Celsius. When you're ready to drink, pour it slowly into a wine glass to let the aromas fully develop. You can pair it with Spanish rice dishes or seafood tapas as suggested. Just make sure to keep the opened bottle in the fridge and consume it within 2 - 3 days to maintain its freshness. If you have an unopened bottle, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
