This rosé wine is made following the traditional
system in Rioja and rarely permitted anywhere else, which consists in adding a part of
white grapes (Viura) to the usual red grapes (mainly Garnacha).
This kind of vinification helps to contain the colour and also gives a fresher
result. Another significant feature for this Muga Rosé comes from its
fermentation in 1000 litre wooden vats, where it is kept for two months before
being bottled.
