Importer Notes

The grapes chosen to make Murua Gran Reserva wine come from very old vineyards; some are almost  centenary, situated at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria Mountain Range and very near to the Murua  winery, in the villages of Elciego and Laguardia. 

1970 turned out to be one of the best vintages of the 20th century, it was qualified as "Very Good", and it is one of the three vintages of that decade that obtained this qualification. The wines of that vintage were characterized by being fine and very pleasant on the palate and even light if we compare them with the current fashion for tannic and structured wines, but with very attractive organoleptic characteristics.

The result is a mahogany wine with a medium layer with hints of brick color. Of medium intensity, it presents aromas of fruit in brandy, fine wood with hints of spices, joinery or leather goods, damp earth and black licorice. In the mouth it denotes fruit, acidity and harmony in continuity. It is a velvety wine, with a pleasant drink and volume, with polished tannins. It has a good pace and a very clean journey on the palate. "It is a very aromatic red, with hints of tobacco and plums and a remarkable persistence, faithful to the Murua brand characterized by wines distinguished for their finesse and elegance," they explain.
