Muga Selección Especial Reserva 2021

This dry red wine from D.O. Ca. Rioja is crafted by the prestigious Muga winery using Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. It features a deep cherry colour, aromas of ripe fruit and integrated spices, and a silky palate with polished tannins.

Key facts

  • Grape variety: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo
  • D.O. / Region: D.O. Ca. Rioja
  • Winery: Muga
  • Soil / Altitude: Clay-limestone terraces
  • Ageing / Cellaring potential: 26 months in barrel, 18 months in bottle

The vineyard

The grapes are sourced from clay-limestone terraces located at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria and Montes Obarenes. These poor, well-drained soils, combined with the Atlantic influence of Rioja Alta, provide remarkable elegance and structure to the vines.

Ideal combination

Winemaking

Following a manual harvest, fermentation takes place in oak vats. The wine then ages for 26 months in French oak barrels crafted in the winery's own cooperage, followed by traditional fining with fresh egg whites and further bottle aging.

Why buy it

If you are looking for an elegant cellaring wine with great balance and complexity, this vintage represents the classic style of the region. Its harmonious structure ensures excellent aging potential, making it a perfect addition to your collection. You can buy Muga Selección Especial Reserva 2021 online directly from our shop.

Too young, tannic and unbalanced. Some vanilla and violet coming through. Would not have placed it as a rioja, quite generic but has potential to age well and soften

This has that ethereal transportive quality that makes wine so special. It takes me to a warm late-evening in Sevilla. Beautiful wine. Traditional Rioja, until hit of oak on the nose. Then through cocoa into deep blackberry, black cherry, black plum and some stewed red cherry, cranberry, Victoria plum, vanilla, clove, cedar but always present oak and cocoa. Vibrant high acidity, medium body, grippy tannins, medium alcohol, long finish.

Earth on the nose. Leather, tobacco, red fruit, and a blackberry. A beautiful, deep wine.

Delicious dark Rioja red. Oak, cassis, cherry, leather, blackcurrant. A bomb of robust ‘kuningatarhillo’ (raspberry bilberry jam) flavour with a great balance of acidity. Nothing complex but very good. Would definitely buy again.

Sanguine velvet balsa sawdust hibiscus coffee chocolate spice ginger Black Forest gateau aromas. Black cherry rich and black plum ebullient, hint of sage and hedgerow. Palate plenty spicy in the lush heady black cherry and blackberry. High acidity, tertiary emergent with liquorice dark chocolate and some kind of boozy tiramisu. Dry as an ossified camel. Long as the directors cut of gone with the wind. Crackin’ vineyard as always - delivering with class to the otherwise supermarket shelvery of cheapskate shite.

A captivating bouquet where sun-ripped fruits meet dark chocolate, accented by cedar and herbal undertones. These elements flow gracefully onto the palate, carried by polished tannins and perfectly balanced acidity. An extraordinary length defines the finish, leaving an evocative touch of balsamic.

A worthy alternative to some of the more bold and expensive 100% tempranillo riojas. This one with 70% tempranillo and additions of garnacha, graciano and mazuelo (carignan). 26 months in oak, followed by concrete refining and further 18 months in the bottle. Violets and light cloves, a hint of spice and more pronounced sweetness, on a very fine layer of forest floor. Looking forward to retry after a few years in my cellar.

Easy on the nose and palate. Silky smooth and yet still full bodied. Little if any tannin on the finish. Went well with olives, bread, & aoili, as well local made bread and pasta

We enjoyed this in Madrid at a wonderful restaurant in old town. This bold, rich-bodied wine was a crowd favorite. It takes charge of your pallet in its first impression with a “inky” combination of dry tannins, dark fruits - prunes, cherry, and blackberry. This light spicy finish was great with meats and vegetables. Enjoy this! 2026, La Mi Venta, Madrid.
