Muga Rioja Blanco 2022, 0.75L
Virua / Garnacha / Malvasia from Rioja Alta, Rioja

"The white 2022 Blanco, 70% Viura with the rest mostly Garnacha Blanca, has a significant percentage of ripe Malvasía Riojana (a grape that doesn't ripen well every year), and it might have given it an extra kick of acidity. They blend wine from barrel and tank, which they started doing in 2016, and reduce the effect of the oak, especially the toast. They have discarded Tempranillo Blanco. This is still fresh and balanced, ripe and powerful, with 14% alcohol, but it keeps a low pH. It’s clean and tasty, with a spicy twist but no obvious oak. They have made a lot of white wine, and demand keeps increasing. 255,000 bottles produced!". 90+, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Feb 2024
