Based in Haro, in the heart of Rioja, Bodegas Muga continues the proud traditions of this emblematic Spanish region. Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, the winery remains a family-run business. Its 25,000 square-meter winery in the historic Barrio de La Estación (Station Quarter) of the town combines traditional winemaking methods with the most cutting-edge technology.
Rioja benefits from three distinct climatic influences, coming from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and a continental one. These competing influences create the perfect conditions for winemaking and an ideal home for the region’s traditional grape varieties, such as Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Bodegas Muga owns vineyards in several key locations across Rioja, each benefiting to a greater or lesser extent from each of these influences, as well as different terroirs and altitudes. This allows it to grow varieties in locations that suit them best – adding to the quality of the wines they produce – but also allowing different expressions from each variety, which can be combined in the final blend for added complexity. From these exceptional terroirs, Muga produces its award-winning range, which includes sparkling Cava, white, rosé and long-lived red wines such as Prado Enea Gran Reserva. Emphasizing its commitment to quality, Muga is the only estate in the region to make the barrels for aging its wines.
