Muriel Fincas de la Villa Reserva 2014: a different tasting
What if our favorite wine was an actress, a song or a city?
We are going to renew a bit the language of tastings. We 'd like to figure out unpublished references, surprising meanings. We are going to innovate and for that we choose one of our most classic, fine, elegant and emblematic wines. A true ambassador of the Rioja Alavesa traditional winemaking expertise: Muriel Fincas de la Villa Reserva. In a very simple and playful exercise, we have come up with new interpretations that have the aim to open the understanding and enjoyment of wine. It is, no more, no less, than playing with the question: "And if this wine were ...?". This is what we've found, which does not mean that tomorrow something else may come out. Because the changing and diverse nature of wine is part of its charm.
A song
Digan lo que digan by Raphael. Regardless of trends and fashions, certain wines will always live on.
A beach
La Concha in San Sebastián. Classic, elegant and utterly sophisticated.
A 1950s Hollywood actress
Joan Crawford. A woman with character, lots of personality, elegance and talent.
A city with heritage
Toledo. History, culture, heritage and tradition while being a first-rate tourist destination. It has the best of the different cultures that have settled in the city throughout its history.
A board game

What do you think? Do you feel like playing? While we rehearse this type of tasting with other wines, let's return to the more conventional and canonical note of Muriel Fincas de la Villa Reserva 2014:
A wine that makes us think of the eternal and always surprising city of Rome.
