Bodegas Muga's status as an all-time Rioja reference-point is reaffirmed with this sterling trio of releases at razor-sharp pricing, highlighted by the newly arrived, 99-point 2021 Torre Muga. The 2021 Rioja vintage is already garnering rave reviews in the press, and the 99-point Torre Muga reflects that praise, "a gorgeous wine from a gorgeous vintage that’s worth the price." Concentrated and robust yet also polished and refined, the 2021 expresses the character of its old-vine plots in Villalba de Rioja, Brinas, and Labastida. A host of impressive reviews from James Suckling, Vinous, and Wine Advocate further confirm the 2021 Torre Muga as a special achievement, worthy of the wine's loft reputation among collectors.
The 2020 Selección Especial Reserva rendtion ramps up the collectible appeal thanks to a particular feature of the vintage itself – no Prado Enea was made in 2020, so all the fruit and juice that would normally comprise that flagship icon has instead gone into the Selección Especial. So, it's no surprise that the 2020 picks up right where the 2019 leaves off, led by Jeb Dunnuck's 95-point review that highlights its "medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and silky tannins," which makes it "already hard to resist."
The 97-point 2019 Prado Enea is unquestionably one for the ages. Muga's flagship bottling is always a coveted item, and 2019 rendition is already showing legendary pedigree that will thrill collectors and connoisseurs of Spain's finest. Luis Gutierrez' 97-point review in Wine Advocate is just the first of what's sure to be another raft of critical praise for the 2019, as it takes its place among the greats. Muga fans know that Prado Enea isn't made every year – no 2017 or 2018 was made, for instance – so when it does appear, we can be virtually assured that it's going to be a showstopper. With its "phenomenal" aromatic profile and a palate built on "power and elegance and very good aging potential," this is collectible Rioja class at its very best, and it's now available to our private clients at a must-see price that you won't find anywhere else.
Finally, Muga's incredible fan-favorite Blanco and Rosado absolutely shine in the newly released 2025 renditions. The 93-point 2025 Blanco is "super balanced, clean and focused, serious and chalky" according to Advocate's Luis Gutiérrez, while Joaquin Hidalgo calls it "a particularly successful vintage for this bottling." The 2025 Rosado notched 92 points for its "fresh and energetic [style] with fine texture and a sleek, nervy flow."
From collectibles to everyday showstoppers, Muga is clearly at the top of their game once again, and Spanish wine lovers have a plethora of surefire options to fit every need in they might have, for the cellar or tonight's dinner table.
The 2025 Blanco, a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía from Rioja, opens with lively primary aromatics of nardos, pear and soft herbs alongside a hint of melon. On the palate, it is energetic, combining elevated freshness with a delicate chalky texture and a creamy undertone that adds breadth. The interplay between energy and richness gives the wine clarity and drive through the finish. A particularly successful vintage for this bottling, it offers excellent value among Rioja whites.
93 points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous (Apr 2026)
The super young 2025 Blanco was cropped from a year with mildew and 15% to 20% lower yields, from vines in Rioja Alta and Alto Najerilla, mostly Viura with Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía Riojana—very little in 2025, because the variety suffered more from mildew. It fermented in large oak vats and 40% in barrel and was kept with lees for four months before being bottled. It has a very balsamic and raw nose, denoting its youth, with notes of bay leaf and a medicinal touch. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.33 and 5.7 grams of acidity. Despite its youth, it feels super balanced, clean and focused, serious and chalky. This wine has grown in the last few years. 250,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2026.
91 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Mar 2026)
