Spanish winery Bodegas Muga begins sourcing oak for barrel making in the autumn months.
- Technical director Isaac Muga plans to attend French oak auctions in October and November to purchase wood for about half of the winery’s barrels.
- Muga is the only Spanish producer that operates its own cooperage and tank workshop, fabricating both barrels and large storage vats in-house.
- The estate invests roughly €2‑2.5 million annually in oak, a key component of its wine ageing process.
The family‑run winery, located in Haro’s Station District, views the autumn auction season as a critical step in preparing for the next vintage.
