Prado Enea 2016

Prado Enea 2016 , made with Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Garnacha and Graciano, seemed to us to be a consistent and well-structured wine, with very well integrated wood and a tasty aftertaste. A great wine.

Since 1932 in the historic neighborhood of Estación de Haro and following traditional procedures combined with technology, Muga has produced wines of the highest quality.

Preparation and aging

Prado Enea 2016 is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano varieties. Along with the Torre Muga grapes, the Prado Enea grapes are always the last to enter the Winery. With this we ensure optimal maturation. The grapes always ferment in oak tanks with a capacity of 10,000 kg without temperature control or the addition of yeast. Maceration is variable but can last up to twenty days.

The aging of this wine is 12 months in 16,000 liter oak tanks, thirty-six months in oak barrels (minimum), and thirty-six months (minimum) in bottle. After aging, a slight clarification is carried out with fresh egg white.

Tasting Note of Prado Enea 2016

• View: Prado Enea has a polished ruby ​​red color, very pure and bright.
• Nose: In aroma, clearly differentiated forest berries are perceived: blueberries, sloes, wild berries, even notes of blackberries. All this flanked by finely intermixed scrub grasses with very subtle perceptions. The oak spices are barely perceptible since they are very integrated but we sense cloves, coconuts and vanilla.
• Mouth: The entry into the mouth is unctuous and dominant, in a few seconds we have a sensation of intense and lasting fullness. Without a doubt, it is not the most surprising phase of the wine. The acidity is present, but it is gentle, the tannins are very sweet and polished, and the minerality has infinite character. In the aftertaste, the descriptors are inverted, with bush herbs taking dominance, perhaps with somewhat different nuances such as dill, fennel, bush tea. Almost as it fades, notes of fine oak reappear.

Pairing

Prado Enea is ideal to accompany civet, big game and roasts. We recommend decanting before consuming. Ideal service temperature 16ºC.
