Old fashioned and admittedly wood-crazy, Bodegas Muga is housed in oak and stone buildings over 200 years old. They employ 3 full-time coopers, using oak throughout the entire winemaking process. They have over 14,000 barrels on hand as well as 200 oak deposits. Their Reserval is aged for 2 years in new oak and clarified with (vegan alert) egg whites before resting a year in bottle before release.
