95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "This is the best vintage yet of the Flor de Muga white, made from a nicely judged blend of Viura with 30% each of Maturana Blanca and Garnacha Blanca. Fermented in new French oak before further ageing on lees in concrete, it has aromas of vanilla pod and chamomile tea and a palate of quince, pear, grapefruit and banana bread. 2024-2030. (2024)."
94 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Flor de Muga Blanco has a golden color and a smoky and toasty nose. It was produced with Viura and around 30% Garnacha Blanca and Maturana Blanca, sold as Reserva. It fermented and matured separately in barrels and a few 500-liter barrels for six years. It's chalky, tasty, round and balanced with very good freshness (a constant in the whites and rosés) and has a long, tasty finish. 20,340 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2021. (02/29/24)."
94 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Blanco Flor de Muga is a flavorful Rioja white sourced from Villalba de Rioja and Galbárruli in Rioja Alta. It's a blend of 40% Viura, 30% Garnacha Blanca and 30% Maturana Blanca, aged for six months in new French oak barrels. With enticing aromas of peach, herbs and a delicate oak-hazelnut layer, it offers a dry, creamy and taut profile on the palate. The wine's heightened acidity adds vibrancy, leading to a final note of marzipan on the long finish. This white blend embodies Rioja's diversity with a complex, satisfying character. Drink 2024-2032. (12/23)."
94 points James Suckling: "Intense aromas of oatmeal, lemon pastry, roasted pineapples and mineral. Fresh, bone-dry and creamy with good volume and substance. 40% viura, 30% garnacha blanca and 30% maturana blanca. Drink now. (04/17/23)."
