2024 Muga Rioja Rosado

If rosé had a dress code, Muga's would be "smart casual on a Spanish terrace in June." It's been made since 1932, which means these folks have had a lot of practice — and it shows. A blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Viura it marries crisp, fresh acidity with a perfectly integrated silky mouthfeel. 16 weeks spent resting on the lees gives this wine a creamy roundness that sets it apart from your average breezy pink. This is no wallflower oof a rosé. It has opinions — just politely expressed ones.
