About Flor de Muga Blanco

Steel tanks, clay or wooden jars... There are various different methods and materials that can be used to age wine, but they all have the same aim: to ensure that after fermentation, the wine develops its characteristics and reaches the highest possible quality.

What the Romans began doing in clay jars led to a process where oak barrels have become the tool of choice for several reasons: their elasticity, resistance to leaks and resistance to microbial development. But beware! It can’t be just any oak: it always has to be the best quality oak that grows both in America (in the states of Missouri and Virginia), and in France (Trocais, Allier, Nerves and Bertranges).

These last two areas are where Bodegas Muga get their barrels from, using them to age Flor de Muga Blanco for 6 months. This white wine is made in the D.O.Ca La Rioja, in the Barrio de La Estación, Haro, in Rioja Alta.

Before the Flor de Muga Blanco is aged, is goes through a process that begins with a manual harvest. After macerating in the press, where only the free-run juice is used (which is produced naturally through gravity), Flor de Muga Blanco ferments at a low temperature in oak barrels. After that, it is transferred to the oeufs de beaune, oval-shaped concrete vats, where it spends 3 months on fine lees. Finally, after half a year in French oak barrels, it finishes off with 18 months in the bottle, where it becomes more refined and rounded.

This all results in a wine with body and structure and a traditional Burgundy style. The best introduction to aged white Riojas.
