Muga Rosado Rioja 2019
We’re so focused on the high-scoring, collectible reds from Muga, we often over look their brilliant rose. NOT TODAY! At a price that says “case me” if you drink a lot of rose, we are loving this right now in our 102+ Napa weather!!
Bodegas Muga was founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Cano. The first wines were made in an underground cellar, until in 1968, they decided to set up their own winery in a beautiful old 19th-century townhouse, situated in the city of Haro. They use the finest materials, combining tradition with the latest advances in winemaking to always to give their wines the very best quality without losing authenticity.
This dry, yet flavor-packed rose is based largely on Grenache, with 30% Viura and 10% Tempranillo, and pops right out of the gate with strawberry essence, roses and white peach - clean, pure, bright and life-restoring! Yes! While it lasts!
PAIRING IDEAS: So many options! Crispy chicken sandwich. Oysters! Ceviche! How about a caprese salad? Cobb salad? You get the idea...eat ANYTHING with this crisp, fine rose!!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: This rose calls for some free spirited and dreamy Stevie Nicks hits, like “Edge of Seventeen”!
