Prado Enea Magnum Red wine
Introducing the Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2015 Magnum, a quintessential expression of Spanish winemaking that captures the essence of the renowned Rioja region. This exceptional red wine, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, is a true testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Bodegas Muga, a name synonymous with quality and tradition.
Prado Enea is crafted from a careful selection of the finest grapes—Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo, and Graciano—sourced from high-altitude vineyards located in the picturesque municipalities of Sajazarra, Cellorigo, and Fonzaleche in the northwest of La Rioja Alta. The grapes are hand-picked at the optimal moment, ensuring the highest quality. The fermentation process takes place in oak vats, followed by a maceration period of 14 to 16 days, allowing the wine to develop its rich character. After this, it spends a minimum of 36 months aging in a blend of French and American oak barrels, adding complexity and depth to its flavor profile. The final touch of elegance comes from a gentle clarification with fresh egg whites before bottling, allowing the wine to mature gracefully in the cellar for an additional 36 months.
Visually, Prado Enea Gran Reserva presents a vibrant cherry-red hue with a medium layer, promising a rich tasting experience. On the nose, it offers an elegant bouquet of forest fruits, such as blackberry and bramble, intricately woven with warm spice notes of cinnamon and clove. The palate is seductively smooth, showcasing a medium body and a long, satisfying finish. The velvety tannins are perfectly balanced with a fresh and well-integrated acidity, complemented by creamy vanilla notes that marry beautifully with the fresh fruit character.
This versatile wine pairs exquisitely with hearty stews, succulent meat dishes, and a variety of cheeses. However, it is equally delightful when enjoyed on its own, allowing you to savor its complexity and craftsmanship. Discover the allure of Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2015 Magnum—a true masterpiece that captures the spirit of Spain in every sip.
