An expressive and personal neoclassical style wine, VS (Viñedos Seleccionados) is the latest coupage from Bodegas Murua. The winery has remained true to its philosophy of creating artisan Rioja wines, yet with VS they were also seeking something new, inspiring a wine loaded with freshness and fruity nuances. VS continues in the same line that Bodegas Murua initiated with the high-expression wine M de Murua, in a bid to craft lively and fruity wines from their best plots. Murua VS is produced with a special selection of the native grape varieties Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo, chosen for their high expression.

The VS de Murua 2010 was first launched in 2013. This is the second vintage of an extraordinary wine at a very affordable price that I had the opportunity to taste recently. It was a lovely experience.
