Discover the epitome of Riojan excellence with Bodegas Muga’s 2016 Prado Enea Gran Reserva—a Tempranillo masterpiece that redefines traditional Spanish winemaking. Hailing from Spain’s iconic Rioja region, this meticulously crafted wine earned 97+ points from Wine Advocate and 97 points from James Suckling, solidifying its status as a collector’s gem and cellar-worthy treasure.

Brewed with grapes from 2016’s exceptional vintage—a year celebrated for its elegance and aging potential—this wine balances bold character with refined grace. Matured in French and American oak barrels for three years, its oak integration is seamless, offering layers of complexity without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. With 14.5% alcohol content and a pH of 3.6, it strikes an impeccable equilibrium between richness and vibrancy.

Unleash aromatic wonders: dark fruit notes intermingle with violets, walnuts, chocolate, and coffee bean nuances on the nose. The palate delivers plush yet velvety tannins that evolve into a lingering finish marked by black cherry sweetness and floral undertones—a testament to its meticulous craftsmanship. While perfectly drinkable now, its structured tannins promise even greater depth post-2026.

Ideal for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated pairing with hearty dishes or those building a premium wine collection, this Gran Reserva exemplifies Bodegas Muga’s commitment to tradition-meets-innovation winemaking. Elevate your gatherings or invest in a legacy—this Rioja Tempranillo is more than a wine; it’s an experience rooted in history and crafted for timeless enjoyment.
