Vines located in the municipalities of Villalba de Rioja, Briñas and Labastida. Calcareous-clay and alluvial soils.
Selection of vineyards. Manual harvesting with 200-kilo crates. Fermentation in wooden vats, separating the grapes according to variety and source vineyard, using indigenous yeasts and no temperature control. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the period of maceration varies and can continue for up to 2 or 3 weeks de...
Appearance: Deep garnet with a vibrant purple core; excellent clarity and density.
Nose: Intense and refined, showing both power and freshness. Ripe black cherry, blackberry, and cassis lead, followed by violet, dark plum, and sweet spice. Savory layers of graphite, crushed stone, and dried herbs emerge, supported by high-quality oak notes of cedar, clove, cocoa, and subtle toast. The aromatic profile is precise and modern, yet firmly rooted in Rioja character.
Palate: Dry, full-bodied, and beautifully structured. The palate delivers concentrated dark fruit framed by vibrant acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins. The mid-palate is deep and layered, revealing mineral tension, licorice, and gentle smoky nuances. Despite its power, the wine remains balanced and energetic, with alcohol and oak seamlessly integrated.
Finish: Long, focused, and persistent, marked by dark fruit, spice, and a savory mineral echo.
Overall: A flagship modern Rioja of authority and finesse. Torre Muga 2020 combines intensity, freshness, and architectural structure, clearly built for long-term aging while already showing impressive clarity and balance.
Serving: 16–18°C. Decanting recommended (1–2 hours) in youth.
Pairing: Roast lamb, beef tenderloin, game, mushroom dishes, or aged Manchego.
Drinking window (estimate): 2026–2045+.
