3 1 Presentation Murua is situated on a small hill just outside Elciego (Álava), heading towards Laguardia. It has belonged to the Masaveu Family since 1974, and is a reference in Rioja Alavesa. Its wines, mostly aged Reservas and Grandes Reservas, are all product of their 110 hectares of vineyards, some of the vines are more than 60 years old. With these older vines, Murua makes elegant wines which express the personality and spirit of this land to perfection. MU RUA R ío E bro 3
4 2 Biography of the winery In the Masaveu Family, the wine making tradition goes back to the times of Federico Masaveu Ripoll, who in the mid-nineteenth century built his own winery in Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona), where the family is originally form. One century later, the Masaveu Family decided to retrieve the wine making vocation which their ancestors had initiated so many years ago. And so, in 1974 they purchased Bodegas Murua, in Elciego, a town dedicated, and historically linked to vine growing, and home to small, family run wine producers and medium to large wineries alike. Due to the high quality of the wines that are produced there, it is currently one of the most famed towns in the Rioja Alavesa. Since the beginning, Murua has endeavoured to produce premium quality wines with the fruits from its own vineyards, which cover a total of 110 hectares. The winery installations were built with this in mind, and in such a way as to manually receive and select the grapes after the harvest, and to facilitate the elaboration and ageing of the wines in optimum conditions. The building perfectly complements the traditional architecture of the area, The materials employed, such as stone and wood, blend in excellently with the majestic medieval small palaces and ancestral homes which form part of the rich patrimony of the town. 4
5 3 Terroir -The land: The Murua estate is divided into 8 parcels, each planted with different varietals, depending on factors such as the soil, the orientation, the sunlight exposure, etc., in order to achieve the highest quality possible in each variety of grape. The land surrounding the winery forms an extraordinarily beautiful landscape, the immensity of the vineyards prove a feast for the eyes and the senses are awakened by colours and aromas, as the fruit evolves until harvest time. Murua boasts 110 hectares of its own vineyards, most of which are situated around the winery in Elciego, however it also has plots in neighbouring towns such as Leza and Laguardia. The clay-limestone soil rises 450 m above sea level and the mild Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influences, form a unique terroir which permits the production of elegant and classical wines. The fact that the mainly Tem- pranillo vines were planted around 45 years ago, adds vigour and refinement to its wines, while the younger plants offer an aromatic, fruity and floral richness. ELCIEGO 5
6 -The Varietals Murua s vineyards are planted with many different varietals, however, Tempranillo, the star of la Rioja, dominates notably. Other native grapes such as Graciano, Mazuelo, Viura, Malvasía and Garnacha Blanca complete the list. Tempranillo The varietal par excellence of the D.O.Ca. Rioja, occupying 75% of the vineyards. It is used to produce both young wines and aged crianza wines, due to its great potential for ageing in oak casks. It produces wines with an intense and stable colour, with soft aromas of roses and liquorice, is smooth in the mouth and has moderate acidity. Graciano A very popular varietal in Rioja and Navarra but rare in other regions. It perfectly complements Tempranillo grapes, proves an exceptional varietal for elaborating aged crianza wines and produces a deep red wine with high acidity and intense fresh fruit and woody aromas. Mazuelo A grape which holds a long tradition in Rioja but at present only occupies 3% of the total planted surface. It makes wines with a stable colour, high acidity and abundant tannins, making it ideal for ageing and so, an ideal companion for Tempranillo. A special feature of this varietal are its scarce but powerful aromas. 6
7 -The Varietals Viura The main white varietal in Rioja. Due to the slow oxidation of its musts, it proves the optimum varietal for making fermented white wines, aged in casks. It produces apple like aromas, in mouth is well structured and has astringent hues. Malvasía In Rioja, this grape is also known as Rojal or Blanca Roja due to the red tone that it acquires as it matures. It produces very interesting wines, with perfumed aromas and a pleasant texture on the palate. Garnacha Blanca This is a very rare varietal in Rioja and has very similar characteristics to the Garnacha Tinta. It produces pleasant wines with high alcohol content and good acidity. 7
8 4 The harvest Year after year, during the vegetative cycle of the vineyard, Murua meticulously carries out the appropriate cultural tasks, finishing up with a strict control of the maturity of the fruits to determine the optimum time for the harvest. Strictly adhering to the traditional formulas used in Rioja, this task is carried out manually and the grapes are placed in small boxes and are selected and separated depending on factors such as the production area, the age of the vines, the productivity of the vineyards, quality etc.. Harvesting usually takes place at the end of September or beginning of October, however the exact date is always subject to the fickle autumn weather. The white varietals are picked at a later date, in order to obtain a higher alcoholic strength and for the fruit to reach optimum maturity. 8
9 5 The art of wine making Reception: Once the trailers arrive at the winery, the boxes are weighed, the bunches are placed on a selection belt and the grapes are chosen manually, bunch by bunch. At this stage more samples are taken in order to analyse, parameterise and maintain the grape quality control systems. Vinification: Having de-stemmed and crushed the grapes, they then undergo primary fermentation, after which the must is separated form the solid parts of the fruit. After this process has taken place, the liquid is transferred to large French oak vats (18,000 litres) for secondary fermentation. The fermentation of our white wine takes place in French oak barrels. The fermentation temperature is controlled in order to obtain a clear must, conserving the fruity aromas of our white varietals to the utmost. 9
10 Ageing Murua essentially produces aged Reserva and Gran Reserva wines, and so, ageing is a fundamental part of the wine making process. In the case of our white wines, fermentation takes place on lees in new French oak Bordeaux barrels, selecting, mixing or discarding the lees in function of the quality of their aromas and flavours, employing the bâttonnage technique. This process is performed throughout the entire winter. The collection of barrels is composed of 2,200 Bordeaux barrels (225 litre), mainly French and American oak and a small amount of Caucasian oak. The barrels are replaced at most every 3 years. Both the choice of wood and the way it is cared for are extremely important factors when it comes to wine ageing. During the ageing process, the red wines are racked using traditional methods in order to supervise each and every barrel. This operation takes place three times during the first year and twice during the second year. Bottling After the ageing process in barrels, Murua wines are further aged in bottles for several months, until they reach an optimum level of maturity and roundness. Murua s bottle cellars are situated in underground caves and can hold 1,500,000 bottles in perfect temperature and humidity conditions. Murua s Reserva wines are aged in bottle for 18 months and the Veguín and Gran Reserva wines for at least 36 months. 10
11 6 The wines Murua s elegant wines are a clear exponent of D.O.Ca. Rioja. They are authentic jewels, created with exquisite care straight through form the terroir to the bottle.
