muga rosado 2021 750ml

GRAPES

Garnacha and Viura.

SOIL

Principally calcareous clay from the Valle del Oja zone and ferrous clay in the Upper Najerilla valley zone.

VINIFICATION

Manual harvesting. After light maceration in the press for 5 hours, the must ferments at a controlled temperature of around 16-18ºC for 15-20 days. This allows us to preserve the maximum freshness, complexity and aromatic intensity of the grapes from which it is made. Once fermentation is complete, it remains 16 weeks with its fine lees in suspension, which will provide greater smoothness and length on the palate. Before bottling it undergoes cold stabilisation.

TASTING

A pale pink colour wine.

It displays a very intense, complex array of aromas on the nose in which we can detect floral aromas (rose petals), stone fruit (apricot and peach skin), citrus (mandarin), strawberry and a touch of hazelnut.

It has a very well-balanced mouth-feel with pleasant acidity which gives the attack a certain fruitiness. The wine evolves perfectly on the palate with a long, refreshing, fruity finish. A rosé wine with good structure and surprising complexity.

FOOD PAIRING

Ideal with seafood, pasta and rice dishes and salads. Great to drink by the glass as a starter or with a small snack on a terrace.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

JS92, James Suckling

"This is a pretty rosé with sliced cherry, orange peel and peach. Medium body and very bright, with fresh acidity and graphite and mineral undertones. Jazzy acidity. 60% grenache, the rest viura. Co-fermented."

RP90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The pink 2021 Rosado was produced mostly with Garnacha and some Viura that fermented in small oak vats and was kept with the lees that were worked for 16 weeks. It's pale, subtle and fresh in this approachable and cool vintage. It's floral, elegant and precise, with a faint bitter twist in the finish. 2021 is a very good vintage for whites and rosés. 301,200 bottles produced. It was bottled at different times from one single master blend."
