Bodegas Muga
I went back to Muga last spring and once again left thinking there are wineries that are good and wineries in another league. Muga is the second kind. Family-owned since 1932 (third and fourth generation now), right in the Barrio de la Estación in Haro, and practically the only Rioja winery with its own active cooperage — a space where barrels are assembled and repaired by hand, with the cooper there. The visit goes through it, and it's worth it: you don't see this in many places. Traditional production, egg-white fining, fermentation in large French oak vats, plenty of patience. Not a fast-track visit: it takes time, they explain things, they pour you properly. For me, one of the essentials in the Barrio.
