About the wine

The origins of Rioja Vega go back to 1882, when Don Felipe Ugalde established a bodega in Haro that bore his name. In 1948, a change took place. Through marriage, the Ugalde and Muerza families (another winegrowing family in the neighborhood) became related. Both bodegas combined forces to establish production in San Adrián under the name of Bodegas Muerza. It was a period of prosperity. The equipment was renewed and the distribution network improved. In 1983, the winery was acquired by the Príncipe de Viana group. Since then, sales have increased considerably, and the wines regularly shine at national and international awards.
