Grape variety: Tempranillo
Background: El Gringo was a famous for being the “the Western extra of a thousand faces”. This American actor, a living example of the perennial extra, disappeared from US screens overnight, never to return. A huge aura of mystery surrounds his story. Tongue-waggers say that he was the victim of evil deeds, while others simply say that he travelled to Spain and stayed there for love. In the United States, the only thing known about his whereabouts is confirmed in an actor’s note found in his flat the day he disappeared. It was a Spanish spaghetti Western, “Indian Troubles”, where he played the cowboy “Outsider Bill”. And the legend sprang up at that very moment.
Tasting notes: Clear deep ruby-purple colour. Clean and distinguished aromas of black cherries, strawberries, roasted coffee beans and chocolate. These berry jam flavours attack the palate with juiciness getting smoothed out with light vanilla and delicate milk chocolate and roasted Java beans.

MCW
Region: Spain, Rioja
Grape variety: Viura & Chardonnay
Winemaking process: The musts undergo their first fermentation in wooden vats where they remain on their lees until the end of April. Once the tirage liqueur (yeast and sugar solution) has been added, the wine is bottled and the second fermentation proceeds very slowly for 3-4 months at a controlled temperature of 10-11ºC. Such slow fermentation allows us to maintain great bubble integrity. The wine is stored sur lattes (on their sides) for a minimum of 18 months to give it greater aromatic complexity, with yeasty pastry shop aromas and a smoothness on the palate. Before the bottles are resealed with cork stoppers they are topped up with the “dosage” liqueur.
Tasting notes: This sparkling wine has a very bright, pale lemon yellow colour and fine beads of bubbles. On the nose it is subtle and complex, revealing aromas from the grapes (lemon, grapefruit), from the 18 months spent sur lattes (biscuits, pastries) and some traces of dried fruit from the bottle ageing. On the palate it is fresh, with a very fine balance between the fruit, acidity and fizz, with a very long finish in which we can find creamy notes coming through.

After the completion of alcoholic fermentation, it remains on its lees for 4 months in order to give the mouthfeel greater body and volume as is so necessary in fine quality sparkling wines. After the addition of tirage liqueur, it ferments for a second time inside the bottle for 4 months at 12ºC. It remains for a minimum of 36 months stored horizontally in racks before disgorgement, always kept at a low temperature to maintain the maximum freshness and wealth of aromas.
Tasting notes: Bright, pale salmon-pink colour. This cava displays a chain of fine bubbles. A medium-high, complex aromatic intensity, with aromas of exotic fruit, citrus notes of grapefruit. Medium-high aromatic intensity, fairly complex with a combination of aromas of fresh strawberry jam, strawberry yoghourt and citrus notes of grapefruit bringing a touch of freshness, with even hints of baker’s shop aromas coming through.

Region: Spain, Rioja
Grape variety: Garnacha Tinta
Geology and soil: Flor de Muga comes from a dozen carefully chosen plots in the areas of Alto Najerilla and the upper parts of the Oja Valley. Both have a semi-continental climate and an age of between 70 and 90 years. Goblet vineyards, with low yields and mostly on slopes. Both the characteristics of the clay-calcareous and clay-ferrous soil, the location and climate make it ideal for maintaining the fresh profile necessary for rosé wines of great complexity.
Winemaking process: Grapes harvested manually, at their optimum moment of ripeness, transported to the winery in small boxes and with refrigerated transport, to keep all the aromatic potential intact. After A short maceration, where it is kept in contact with the skins, 50% of the first must that comes out of the press by simple gravity (free-run must) is selected. It is then fermented at a low temperature in small oak vats, plot by plot. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is preserved on the fine lees for a minimum of 4 months, performing periodic bâtonage (putting the fine lees in suspension) to protect the wine naturally by maintaining the aromas and providing volume in the mouth. At the end of this process, a tasting is carried out, plot by plot, to define the final assembly.
Tasting notes: Bright pale pink colour. On the nose it stands out for its great complexity and intensity where aromas of red fruit, stone (peach, apricot), white flower and citrus appear. All of them are characteristic of the Garnacha Tinta variety. You can also appreciate a subtle spicy note (vanilla, cinnamon) from the elaboration and aging in small wooden vats. On the palate it is very elegant and balanced. It has a marked acidity that gives it length and liveliness. Once again, the fruity notes appear in the mouth, especially the apricot. The finish is very long, fresh, with a very soft tannin that gives it structure, making it a very gastronomic wine.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate - Luis Gutiérrez (14/07/2022) - 93+ Parker Points: Vintage 2021: “I tasted the very recently bottled 2021 Flor de Muga Rosado, from a cooler year that resulted in a wine with 13.8% alcohol and notable freshness and acidity. The wine fermented in oak vats where it matured for four months with the fine lees that were stirred. It was a cool and rainy vintage with some challenges with oidium and mildew but very good for fresh wines. This is very pale and subtle but with good ripeness in the late-ripening zone where these grapes come from. It's fresh and light to medium-bodied, with clean aromas and flavours. It's elegant and subtle, terribly harmonious with complexity and depth. Possibly the finest vintage to date. Delicious! 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022.”
MFMB
Region: Spain, Rioja
Grape variety: Viura, Garnacha Blanca & Maturana Blanca
Tasting notes:
Wine with a bright, golden-yellow colour. Very complex, high intensity of aromas on the nose with white blossom, green apples, grapefruit, orange peel and a touch of spices, such as cinnamon. On the palate the harmonious balance of acidity and smoothness comes as a surprise. Citrus fruit flavours return, with a touch of minerality and a very long, refreshing finish.

Tasting notes: A pale pink colour wine. It displays a very intense, complex array of aromas on the nose in which floral aromas (rose petals), apricot and peach skin, mandarin, strawberry and a touch of hazelnut are detected. It has a very well-balanced mouth-feel with pleasant acidity which gives the attack a certain fruitiness. The wine evolves perfectly on the palate with a long, refreshing, fruity finish. A rosé wine with good structure and surprising complexity.

MESCFW
This is a classic Sauvignon Blanc style, inspired in New Zealand and blended in Spain.
Harvested in the cool of the night for protection, swiftly crushed, chilled and pressed to produce pristine juice with intense varietal character. Gently fermented to preserve aromatics, and light ageing on the lees to freshen and clarify into a bright and crystalline beauty.
Tsting note: Aromas of sun-fresh passionfruit and dewdrenched exotic fruits, explosive flavours of guava, melon and white peach end on a note of ripe grapefruit. Bright, light and refreshing.
JPVERD
Brilliant straw yellow colour, with greenish reflections. Elegant, fresh, and complex. This wine shows a marked fruity tone, covering the range of white and citrus fruits.
Hints of fennel, garrigue and a balsamic aniseed ground. All of it over a mineral remembrance. On the palate, fresh fruity notes show up again. Unctuous, elegant
with a slight touch of bitterness at the end, typical of the Verdejo, backed by good acidity.
JPPC
Aromatic intensity of white fruit and citrus fruits that emerge from the expression of acidity. Elegant nose with a slight mineral touch. A wine with angular acidity, tense, and with a saline texture. Wine with volume and flavorful.
