Normally $22! Sporting a 91-point score to boot, this rose is an all-time classic - stock up!
We’ve been drinking this on the regular since it hit our Napa warehouse! Luckily there is still enough to offer you! Bodegas Muga is legendary for their high-scoring reds, but their rose is just as finely-made and hard to find! What a price today!!
This dry, yet flavor-packed rose is based largely on Grenache, with 30% Viura and 10% Tempranillo, and pops right out of the gate with strawberry essence, roses and white peach, clean, pure, bright and life-restoring! Yes!
Summer sipping at its finest! While it lasts!

The 2019 Rosado was produced mainly with grapes from the Alto Najerilla zone of Rioja, where the soils have a mix of clay, limestone and iron that give them an intense red color. The must fermented in small oak vats for 15 to 20 days at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius and was kept with lees that were worked for three months before bottling. It has a similar profile as the white, slightly reductive at first and then opening up after some time in the glass. It's tender and sleek, with integrated acidity and clean flavors with a pleasant bitter twist in the finish. It's a blend of Garnacha and Viura plus whatever grapes might be in the old vineyards in the Najerilla zone. This is a cuvée of 300,000 bottles.
This estate always turns out a classy rosé and the 2019 Rosado is no exception. Based largely on Grenache with 30% Viura and 10% Tempranillo, its light pink color is followed by attractive notes of wild strawberries, white peach, and flowers. It's medium-bodied, seamless, and beautifully balanced, and has a good mix of both richness and freshness. Enjoy this outstanding rosé over the coming 6-12 months.
Pleasant watermelon, pink-guava and peach character with some citrus. It’s medium-bodied with good fruit and a fresh finish. Macabeo, grenache and tempranillo. Drink now. (9/22/20)
