The winery in Haro, in the heart of the Rioja Alta, has been working with traditional methods since 1932: fermentation in oak barrels, clarification with egg white and bentonite without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Selección Especial – a blend of \u003cstrong\u003e70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, and 10% Mazuelo and Graciano\u003c\/strong\u003e – displays a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose offers aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of vanilla and tobacco from the oak barrel. On the palate, it reveals dense fruit, velvety tannins, and well-integrated acidity that lends the wine length. The finish remains spicy and fruity, with notes of cedar and dark chocolate. James Suckling awarded the 2019 vintage 94 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Drinking window: now until 2030. Pairs well with leg of lamb with rosemary jus, Ibérico pork tenderloin or mature Manchego cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Muga","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":52694990618960,"sku":"V33676","price":36.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2021","offer_id":53093122670928,"sku":"V33676-2021","price":36.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/muga-seleccion-especial-rioja-doca-2x.webp?v=1783529514","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/muga-seleccion-especial-rioja-doca","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
