Description
In La Rioja, land of great wines and centenary tradition, we find Bodegas Muga, a family winery that has been making wines with a unique character for more than 90 years. Among its jewels is Muga Conde de Haro Brut, a sparkling wine that, although perhaps not as well known as its reds, is a real well-kept secret.
Muga Conde de Haro Brut is made from a combination of Viura and Chardonnay, 70% and 30% respectively. These grapes come from vineyards located in the Oja Valley and Alto Najerilla, where the clay-limestone and clay-ferrous soils provide that special minerality. It may not sound exciting to talk about soils, but imagine this: it is like the seasoning of a good dish, the small detail that makes the difference.
Elaboration
The winemaking process is pure craftsmanship. Harvesting is done by hand, selecting only the best grapes. Afterwards, the double fermentation begins: the first in wooden vats and the second in the bottle, following the traditional method. Here comes the magic. For 24 months, the wine rests on its lees, which gives it those irresistible aromas of toast and nuts. Finally, disgorgement is carried out with precision to ensure that each bottle is at its perfect point.
Taste
From the first sip, Muga Conde de Haro Brut wins you over. Its straw yellow colour shimmers with golden glints and the bubbles rise in a fine, constant dance. As you approach the glass, a fresh, vibrant aroma envelops you: green apple, citrus and a subtle hint of brioche that makes you think of a hotel breakfast by the sea.
The palate is elegant, with an acidity that keeps it lively and a creamy texture that makes it tremendously pleasant. The finish is long, with a slightly almondy aftertaste that invites another sip. It is the kind of wine that makes you close your eyes for a moment and simply enjoy.
If you like good cava but want to get away from the usual, give Muga Conde de Haro Brut a try. You won't be disappointed.
