It is also remarkable that 3 out of the 5 selected wines were also from La Rioja, which shows, the degree of acknowledgement which this Appellation of Origin has in USA.

In this way, it is important to emphasize the position of Bodegas Muga in the ranking, bearing in mind that the regions that monopolize the first positions on the list are California, France and Italy. To obtain the acknowledgement from the American consumers is one of the most difficult challenges for the viticulturist from the world, due to the degree of exigency and the high level of competitiveness.
