This is a lovely, pale Rosé that will be an excellent companion for your summer grill fests. The 2022 Rioja Rosado from Bodegas Muga is a beautiful and fresh example of Garnacha in a Spanish style. It has a bouquet of ripe strawberry, peach and red cherry followed by enticing elements of fresh flowers, herbs and a touch of spice. The flavors are pure, round and juicy, with strawberry and red cherry fruit enhanced by dried herb and spice nuances. Fine Rosé wines like the 2022 Bodegas Muga are great values and very handy to have on hand for warm weather menus.
