From Garnacha grown in Alto Najerilla, the 2025 Rosado Flor de Muga was aged on the lees, with about one-third fermented in 500-liter barrels. On the nose, cherry and sour cherry lead, joined by a touch of grenadine and delicate herbal tones. The palate is moderately rich, with a faintly malic edge and growing energy through the midsection. Recently bottled, it should come together more harmoniously in the near term.
Flor de Muga is produced on the basis of plot selection of very old garnacha vines (between 70 and 90 years old), grown at an altitude of 600-750 metres in two distinctly different terroirs: ferrous clay and chalky clay soils. These recently chosen plots are carefully watched over and when they reach the peak of maturity, the grapes are picked by hand into small crates.
The complexity of this wine hits you from the first sensation on the nose. You will find an elegant, fresh, very delicate wine, letting through notes of tart strawberry and peach, at the same as you detect a floral aroma of rose blossom which captivates your senses and quickly takes hold after just a few minutes in the glass.
On the palate, the first sensation you find surprises you with a wine which has a lot of body and oiliness, something unusual in a rose, providing a complexity which, along with its minerality and such well-balanced acidity, makes this a truly unique wine.
