{"product_id":"bodegas-muga-rosado-rioja-doca-spain","title":"Bodegas Muga Rosado, Rioja DOCa, Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom one of Rioja's most iconic family estates, Muga Rosado 2024 is a beautifully refined expression of Spanish rosé, balancing freshness, texture, and elegance. Crafted from a traditional Rioja blend of Garnacha Tintorera, Viura, and Tempranillo, the wine captures the character of old vineyards in Rioja Alta while showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that has defined Bodegas Muga for generations. Extended lees ageing lends subtle richness to its vibrant fruit profile, resulting in a rosé that is equally refreshing as an aperitif or alongside the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Director:\u003c\/strong\u003e Isaac Muga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Winemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pablo Orio\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Garnacha Tintorera, 30% Viura, 10% Tempranillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle five-hour skin maceration, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel for 15-20 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged on fine lees for 16 weeks before bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrilliant pale pink in the glass.
