Bodegas Vega Sicilia Macan Classico 2021

From the heart of Rioja comes Macán Clásico. A wine of yesterday and today that respects the most authentic and distinctive style of this prestigious land.

A wine that seeks harmony through the expression of its roots. The character of its origin bestows upon it a special elegance, a lingering imprint, enveloping it in an unforgettable balance of sensitivity and expressiveness.

This red wine is made entirely from the Tempranillo grape variety. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place between barrel and tank. It is aged in fine- and extra-fine-grained French oak, mostly in new barrels and the remainder in barrels previously used for one other wine. It spends 15 months in oak and the rest of its aging in the bottle until it is released.

Macán and Macán Clásico represent the shared vision of Rioja held by two giants of the wine world: Rothschild and Vega Sicilia. These are wines of great elegance, where the harmony of their aromas and flavors showcases the authenticity of the land from which they originate and its capacity to produce exceptional wines.

Classic Macán is more approachable and expressive, with a more pleasant and friendly taste, a marked character from the land it comes from, and a simplicity that makes it very attractive.

Their coexistence stems from the desire to preserve the Bordeaux tradition of producing a first and a second wine. Both wines are kept together at all times and treated exactly the same, from the vineyard to the final tasting and classification. At that point, the different batches of wine from the harvest are separated, allowing each wine to be seen individually and highlighting the differences between them.
