Red berry and currants carry the intensely complex flavors of flowers, licorice, truffles, truffles and more truffles, leather, cured meats and minerals. Great elegance in its crisp, silky texture and full-bodied palate. Finishes ripe, spicy and very long. A big wine, with superb balance, elegance and intensity. Drink over the next 6 to 8 years.
Bodegas Muga is the only winery left in Rioja that still ferments, stores and ages its wine in oak barrels Prado Enea, a classic, is aged 1 year in oak vats, 3 years in new Bordeaux barriques, and a minimum 3 years in bottle.

Prado Enea Gran Reserva is 80% Tempranillo with the balance Garnacha, Mazuela, and Graciano. The wine is aged for one year in oak vats followed by 3 years in new French oak followed by 3 years in bottle prior to release. Dark ruby-colored, the wine’s appearance reveals a bit of age in a traditional style. It offers up a complex bouquet of cedar, pencil lead, mineral, spice box, and blackberry. On the palate it is elegant with ample sweet, ripe fruit, good flavors and moderate length.
