The grapes used to make Veguín de Murua Gran Reserva have been carefully selected from very old vines, some of which are almost one hundred years old, situated in Bodega Murua’s best plots, at the foot of the Sierra Toloño Mountains. Production is limited to 2,500 Kg./Ha. The harvest is carried out manually by professionals that select the best clusters and the process is then Fnished on selection tables at the winery.

Veguin de Murua Gran Reserva is only made in limited editions and exceptional vintages. This harvest was rated as very good and made 13,785 bottles of wine. Winter 2016 enjoyed mild temperatures. Spring was fresh and cloudy, delaying budding in comparison to its usual development. Summer was very dry and warm with cool nights, enabling the plants to rest and develop well.

September began with a good storm (21L/m2) that, together with the thermal amplitude between night and day, were ideal conditions for the correct development of the vine. The harvest began on 26 September and the oldest vineyards were harvested between 4 and 5 October. The yields, controlled by the good work in the vineyard, were optimal in a year with a record harvest. In our vineyard we always ensure optimum quality of the bunches thanks to a permanent control dedicated to this. 

Tasting Notes

Look: Intense garnet colour.

Aroma: Good nose, expressive, delicate and intense, with aromas of liquorice, dried tobacco leaves, wild strawberries, mint, spices and pleasant balsamic notes. As soon as it is uncorked, the wine expresses its best aromas in an elegant way. Fine, delicate, long-lasting and complex nose. With time in the glass we discover new aromas that gradually appear.

Taste: Sensation of delicacy and elegance from the very rst moment. The 2016 vintage shows a very friendly and pleasant character. Notes of liquorice, red and black fruits, but also mint, clove and very ripe wild strawberries. This wine is fresh, long-lasting and with a relevant presence in the mouth conferred by the ageing in oak barrels.
