Get to know: Bodegas Muriel, Rioja Blanco

A modern, vibrant white Rioja made from native Viura grapes.

Tasting Note

Intense and floral aromas with green apple and citrus fruit greet the nose and follow on to a refreshing palate with nicely balanced acidity and a lingering fruity finish. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and is all about the pure fruit flavours.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled fish and seafood pasta
  • Steamed shellfish or sushi
  • Green salads or lightly smoked starters
Kate Says

"Muriel are very good at producing a consistently appealing wine that really captures the Rioja style. Light, fresh and unoaked, I'd love a glass of this while sitting outside on warm day with a few tapas plates."

Producer Info

Founded in 1926 by José Murúa Villaverde, today, the winery is managed by Julián Murúa and his son, Javier Murúa. Muriel is the brand that appeals to everyday life, to wine as a loyal and friendly product that knows how to accompany our lives.

Bodegas Muriel is located in Elciego, at the heart of Rioja Alavesa – a region known for its clay-limestone soils and cooler climate. This 100% Viura is sourced from trellis-trained vines averaging over 20 years old, grown under a strong Atlantic influence that keeps the wine bright and zesty.

How it’s made:

  • Grapes hand-harvested in the second half of September
  • 3-hour cold skin maceration to enhance aromatics
  • Gentle pressing followed by fermentation – mostly in stainless steel, with a small portion aged in French oak barrels
  • Final wine blended for freshness, complexity and balance

Good to know:

  • Region: DOCa Rioja (Alavesa), Spain
  • Grape: 100% Viura
  • Vintage: 2023
  • ABV: 13%
  • Style: Dry white with a fresh and slightly creamy texture
  • Vegan: Yes
  • Serve at: Around 9°C (48°F)

Why we love it:

It’s everything we want in a fresh white Rioja – vibrant, floral and fruity with just enough richness to elevate it. Whether paired with seafood or enjoyed on its own, it’s a bottle that overdelivers for the price.
