Winemaker Notes
Made with the three white Rioja varieties selected manually during harvest from the tops of the vines, and then once again at the sorting conveyor, bunch by bunch. The wine is fermented on its lees, following an old, traditional formula, at room temperature in Bordeaux barrels of new French oak. During the process the best lees are selected manually, depending on their aromas and flavours, and blended during the whole winter in a process known as 'bâtonnage'. The wine is then bottled directly from the casks.
Murua stands on a gentle hill in Elciego, enveloped by the historic vineyards which surround this traditional bodega. Silence, darkness and the slow passage of time permeate the cellars where its classic, elegant wines are made; genuine treasures that are painstakingly fashioned from the terroir through to the bottle.
Murua is situated at the heart of the Rioja Alavesa, together with some of the most historical wineries of the region. It is precisely located in Elciego, one of the towns in the area with most winemaking tradition. Life in this beautiful medieval town, dotted with noble stone houses, revolves around wine, forming a socio-economic network, where small producers, family-run wineries and medium and large bodegas all live in harmony.
