Murua Reserva Red Wine

The Murua Reserva Red Wine is one of the jewels of Bodegas Murua, a reference point in the Denominación de Origen Calificada Rioja (Spain). This wine, crafted from a careful selection of 92% Tempranillo and 8% Graciano and Mazuelo, represents the perfect union between tradition, elegance and the unique personality of Rioja Alavesa. Murua Reserva is an age-worthy wine, conceived to offer harmonious and lasting evolution over time. Its essence lies in the balance between tertiary aromas, characteristic of aging, and the wide range of fruity nuances provided by vineyard plots cultivated with care and respect for the environment. The result is a long, complex and refined wine, a faithful reflection of the winery’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and artisanal quality. Located on a small hill in Elciego, Bodegas Murua has worked since its beginnings with a philosophy focused on producing highly expressive wines from their own vineyards. The estate is divided into eight plots, planted mainly with red varieties—Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo—carefully selected according to soil composition, orientation and sun exposure, determining factors for achieving wines full of identity and authenticity.

The production process of Murua Reserva Red Wine combines Rioja tradition with modern enological precision. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature, with meticulous monitoring of maceration to obtain maximum fruit expression. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation and settling take place in French and American oak barrels, where the wine rests for 20 months, acquiring complexity, structure and an unmistakable silky texture. After aging in wood, the wine remains a minimum of four years in bottle in the winery’s underground cellar, thus reaching its optimal point of maturity and roundness before reaching the market. This patient process guarantees balanced evolution and outstanding elegance in every glass. Served at an ideal temperature of 15-17°C, Murua Reserva displays its full potential, showing the harmony between fruity character and aging nuances that make it a red wine of great nobility.
