Muriel Viña Viejas Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa

Muriel Wines was created as a family business with strong links to its place of origin. Today, it has become a large global company with an important part of its business dedicated to exports. But it remains very connected to its roots: one foot in the vineyard and the other in the rest of the world.

Made from vineyards in the heart of Rioja Alavesa and select areas of Rioja Alta, these old vines are cultivated using the traditional goblet-training system. Giving the greatest prominence to the DOCa Rioja’s star variety and following the traditional guidelines that have made it so well known, Muriel Gran Reserva Viña Viejas is a classic to enjoy the expertise of this community that is so attached to their land.
