Muga是一家知名的酒莊，一直由家族經營，早於1932年由Isaac Muga 和 Aurora Caño創立。酒窖與葡萄園位於產區Rioja，大都圍繞酒都小鎮Haro。它融合了傳統的釀酒方法和尖端的新技術。此外，Muga是西班牙極少數堅持請來工匠，自家製造橡木桶，由此可見他們多麼重視木桶，並以此為他們的出品帶來獨特的風味。酒莊出產木桶陳年的白酒、rosé、 Cava氣泡酒，但最為人所熟悉的是他們傳統風格的Reservas、Prado Enea Gran Reserva，以及絲滑美味的Torre Muga。

(Robert Parker's rating: 96 points)
我品嘗Torre Muga 2016時，它只入樽大約4個月，非常年輕。即使如此，這年份似乎很平易近人及開放。這酒有力量很濃郁，但亦有很好的平衡和新鮮感。現在已適合品飲，但它亦可在瓶中陳年。喝來感覺圓潤，沒有尖銳的單寧。橡木是存在的，卻已巧妙地融入酒中。這無疑是Torre Muga最好的年份之一。出產36,000瓶。2019年初入樽。(適飲期：2022-2034)

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 96 points)
I tasted a super young 2016 Torre Muga that had only been in bottle for some four months. But even so, the year seems to be approachable and open. Even if the wine has concentration and power, it has great balance and freshness. And it's drinkable now, even if it's going to get polished with some more time in bottle, where it should have a long life. And for its age, it feels quite round, and it doesn't have edges or any harsh tannins; the oak is present but it's neatly integrated in the wine. It has to be one of the finest vintages for Torre Muga. 36,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in early 2019. (Drink date: 2022-2034)
