Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva
Rioja DOCa, Spain
About this product
Prado Enea Gran Reserva is Muga's only wine eligible for the Gran Reserva designation — made only in great years. Aged a minimum 3 years in oak (American, French, and local oak — Muga makes its own barrels) and 3 years in bottle before release. The result is one of Rioja's most elegant and long-lived expressions — complex, more restrained than some, with extraordinary secondary character.
