Muga & La Rioja Alta Arrive
With control of around 400 hectares of vineyards, including 250 hectares of their own, Muga has no shortage of access to quality grapes. The vineyards are all situated at the foot of the Montes Obarenses in Rioja Alta, on the elevated western edge of the Rioja region.
La Rioja Alta is noted for its balance of technology and quality-focus with high productivity, though in stylistic terms they identify themselves as traditional Rioja producers - still seeking structure, complexity and age-worthiness over the easier virtues of plush fruit and drink-young appeal.
