Muga tour and tasting led by Monica. Where Rioja Alta is embracing new technologies, Muga is sticking to old tried and true methods. They use huge wooden fermentation casks, mostly French oak, some American. They also have a cooper on site. We tasted:
Vino Blanco *very good
Crianza - smooth, little tanins
Extras from David:
Cava Rosado
Cava Blanco (better than rose)
Pravda Enea
Torre Muga (more fruity)
Had a great lunch in Haro at the Restaurant Beethoven I! Went back later for tapas. Haro was hopping this Saturday night; Old people, young people, children, middle aged. Everyone was out at 10 pm. We had a couple of asparagus and potato cake tapas with a vermouth so for 6 euro.
Beautiful church in Haro, St Thomas. Our room at the Hostal Aragon is just off the main plaza. Our room is quiet, on the backside with no view and the bathroom is very tiny - smaller than the one we had in the basement of our Annandale house. But....only 35 euros per night. Tomorrow we take the 0845 bus to Logroño.
