Rioja, Spain
Bodegas Muga
Muga is a family winery in Rioja that still does everything the old-fashioned way — aging their wines in barrels they make themselves in their own cooperage, which almost no one does anymore. A 1978 is a serious collector's bottle from one of the better vintages of that era.
