2020 Muga Rioja White Wine Rioja may be best known for its earthy, full-bodied wines based on Tempranillo, but its white wines are some of the most exciting wines in all of Spain. This version from the traditional Muga bodega is primarily Viura (known as Macabeo elsewhere in Spain and in France), with a hint of both Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia. Lush, floral and full of orchard fruit notes, this is supple and luxurious on the palate but finishes with a wonderful mineral note, thanks in part to the clay and limestone soils on which it's grown, in the Rioja Alta subregion.This wine is straw-yellow color. It has a strikingly intense nose with floral aromas coming to the fore (white flowers, jasmine) together with notes of citrus fruit and apple peel. Complex and seductive. The entry on the palate is very supple with a sensation of ripeness. Interestingly though, on the rest of the palate a minerality and freshness comes though developing into a lively, crisp finish that also makes the wine a good partner for food.A perfect pairing for grilled fish, shellfish and rice dishes, among others. 93 Points James Suckling Mostly viura with some malvasia and white garnacha. Linear and firm texture to the medium-bodied palate with hints of vanilla and cream. Long finish. Barrel-fermented and aged shortly in wood. Beautiful now, but can age nicely. 92 Points Vinous Light yellow. Lively and sharply focused on the nose, displaying fresh citrus and orchard fruit scents and subtle vanilla and floral overtones. Shows sharp definition and spicy lift to the Meyer lemon, pear and honeysuckle flavors, which deepen through the midpalate. Closes long and juicy, with repeating florality and a dusty mineral flourish.
