Description
From the Sonsierra region of La Rioja, Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico is fresh, fruity, lively and delicate with great depth and complexity. Made using 100% Tempranillo from vines planted on sandy clay soils. 2019 was a warm and dry year resulting in a more concentrated, potent expression that maintains zing and freshness thanks to the soils. Plum, dried strawberry and olive on the nose, with fine but powerful tannins and a juicy finish.
Founded in 1864, 118 years before the Ribera del Duero region was demarcated, Vega Sicilia are and always have been the pace setters in the region. Taken over by the Alvarez family in 1982, they are without doubt Spain’s most famous winery. Macán is a joint venture between two of the wine world’s most famous names, Benjamin de Rothschild and Pablo Alvarez of Vega Sicilia. From vines grown in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria in La Rioja, these wines are a true expression of their terroir, from two powerhouse producers.
