The bottles are coming from Spain via one of our trustworthy suppliers. Bottles from the lot have been tasted, and they are in excellent condition and still going strong. Like our offerings from Barolo and Barbaresco, Spain also has superb, very age-worthy wines that have stood the test of time. Old Rioja is one of the joys of drinking wine, and while we offer them less than Burgundy or Barolo, they are still exceptional wines that are a bit harder to find with age.

Muga is one of the top names in Rioja, founded in the early 30s in the historic Barrio de La Estación (Station Quarter) of Haro. Muga in the '60s and '70s was making Rioja using the Grand Reserva standards. Still, it was noted on the labels sporadically, and it wasn't until the mid-'70s that the Bodega began putting it on consistently. 1970 is an excellent vintage for Rioja, and in the world of aged wines, these are a steal compared to Bordeaux and Burgundy wines. This wine is one of the top vintage buys for old-world reds and a standout example from Muga.
