Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The expressive, complex and nuanced 2016 Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a textbook traditional Rioja in the making. 2016 was a very elegant year, with aging potential, volume and very good acidity and freshness. It's full-bodied but fine-boned, has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.25 grams per liter acidity. It has terrific balance, with all the components in the right proportion to age superbly in bottle. They have also been working on the selection of wood used. This wine matured in French and American oak barrels for three years, and the oak is super integrated. 127,808 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020. It was an exceptional year with volume and quality.

Description
Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a red wine produced in the D.O. Rioja by Bodegas Muga. This wine represents a blend of different grape varieties such as Tempranillo, accompanied by Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano.
On a gastronomic level it is a drink that goes perfectly with stews, meat dishes and cheese, and can even be enjoyed on its own, without any accompaniment.
Elaboration
Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a red wine that is selected from grapes from different vineyards that come from plots and land located in the area of Villalba de Rioja, in the foothills of the Montes Obarenes, facing south, a terroir of recognised high quality.
Fermentation is carried out in oak vats without temperature control or addition of yeasts and the maceration time is 16 days.
This is followed by a minimum of 36 months in French oak barrels. At the end of this time and before bottling, the wine is lightly clarified with fresh egg whites.
Subsequently, in order to complete the ageing time, it is kept in the cellar for at least another 36 months.
Taste
Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a highly expressive wine, revealing exquisite, seductive and complex aromas. It is delicate and elegant.
This unique and original wine can be enjoyed today, but has the potential value to age splendidly for several years.
An expressive, soft, delicate and elegant red...
This wine from the DO La Rioja is a faithful and worthy representative of one of the wineries with the greatest tradition and history in Spain.
