Description
 
The history of Bodegas Muga is intrinsically linked to that of the Muga family itself. Bodegas Muga was founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and his wife, Aurora Caño, both of whom came from families with a long tradition of activity within the wine-making industry. Over the years, Muga wines have gained international recognition and acclaim, and from working with just a few thousand kilos of grapes per year, the bodega has now expanded its processing capacity to over one and half million kilos. Today, new generations of the Muga family continue to join the family business, making Bodegas Muga a true symbol of family tradition.

The 1981 Prado Enea Gran Reserva was regarded as the finest vintage from the decade, even though the following vintage was better received. Apparently, it was such a rapid fermentation that one of the vessels exploded! It has a stunning, youthful, complex, cerebral bouquet that really stops you in your tracks. Pure black currant leaf, mint, cedar, lavender and marmalade soar from the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with refined tannins, perfect acidity and a mouth-coating dark chocolate-tinged, cedar finish that shows immense persistence and elegance. It just begins to fade after ten minutes in the glass, so I would not advise decanting it. If you need proof how well Prado Enea evolves, then this is it. Wine Advocate 94
