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。

用來釀造Prado Enea的葡萄，通常是最遲收成的一批，原因是葡萄園位處Rioja Alta的西北面，工人要在高海拔的園內選取優質的葡萄。葡萄在木桶內以天然酵母發酵，經過浸皮的過程後，於法國和美國的橡木桶最少陳年36個月。入樽後，再要在酒窖陳年36個月方算完成。
品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 96 points)
這款Prado Enea Gran Reserva的色澤像車厘子，濃郁而誘人。香氣以黑果為主，混合了香料、薑餅和甘草的氣息。入口細緻柔順，在絲滑的單寧和和諧的酸度支持下，可以感受到柔和的力量和輕盈的質感。收結時，除了熟果的味道，亦有雲呢拿的柔潤芳香。現在喝固然適合，但陳年後會很吸引。

Vinification:
The grapes for Prado Enea are always the last to be harvested. This is because of the careful selection of high-altitude plots with a fine quality, located in the north-west of the Rioja Alta. The grapes ferment in oak vats with no addition of yeast. After maceration period, the wines are aged in French and American oak casks for minimum 36 months. After bottling, another 36 months to store in the cellar for aging.
Tasting Notes:
This Gran Reserva Prado Enea displays an attractive, deep, dense cherry-red colour. A stylish nose of black fruits mingling with spices, gingerbread and liquorice. The soft, supple entry on the palate leads to a sensation of gentle power and air-light volume underpinned by cashmere silky tannins, harmoniously balanced by fresh acidity. Creamy, vanilla notes come through in the finish with ripe fruit. This wine is tempting to drink now, but it will age well for years.
