Spain

Rioja

Spain's most famous wine appellation straddles the Ebro River in northern Iberia. Rioja's extended oak ageing tradition — producing Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva — is unlike anywhere else in the world.

Climate

Continental, moderated by the Sierra Cantabria. Three sub-zones with distinct soils.

Prado Enea Gran Reserva

Bodegas Muga · 2016 · Tempranillo

Deep garnet. A complex nose of dried cherry, tobacco leaf, vanilla, and earthy mushroom unfolds slowly — this is a wine built for the long haul. The palate has firm but polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a wonderfully savory, almost umami, mid-palate. The extended Rioja oak ageing (36 months in American and French barrique) gives Prado Enea its signature silk.
