About Macán

Macán is a single-variety Tempranillo red wine produced by the Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia winery in the D.O.Ca. Rioja.

The Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia winery is located northeast of Samaniego, in Rioja Alavesa, in a place called San Millán. The architecture of the winery fits in with the landscape as a sign of respect and sensitivity to the environment. It is made up of three separate warehouses, each of them home to a part of the winemaking process: production, aging and dispatch, and named after the basic elements of nature: water, earth and sun. All work in the Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia winery is carried out sustainably. A statement of intent!

Macán is made with grapes from vineyards over 30 years old that are harvested with the utmost care to ensure the integrity of the bunches.

After alcoholic fermentation, the resulting wine undergoes malolactic fermentation: 70% in stainless steel tanks and the other 30% in barrels. It then ages for 15 months in new, fine and extra fine grain French wood barrels, and a very small amount of the wine ages in barrels that have been used for one year.

Macán is an excellent Rioja wine that is the result of a joint vision of two great names in international winemaking: Rothschild and Vega Sicilia, whose hallmark of elegance and quality is undoubtedly clear.

2019

Macán 2019 unfolds with a sophisticated array of aromas in which ripe cherries and blackberries intertwine with delicate hints of vanilla and pepper. On the palate, this full-bodied red astonishes with its freshness and vivacity, delivering a silky texture that unveils the elegance of its provenance. Creamy oak nuances blend with a spicy and toasted undertone, creating an impression of depth while maintaining the quintessential fruity essence that defines it.
2018
Macán 2018 presents itself with a harmonious blend of elegance and depth. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry, complemented by delicate hints of vanilla and pepper. On the palate, its silky texture and freshness are surprising, highlighting the integration of creamy oak and subtle spicy notes. A refined and vigorous red wine, achieving a balance between fruity vivacity and the complexity of its ageing.
 
2017

Macán 2017 is a unique wine, the result of a very difficult year in La Rioja, where frost threatened the vintage. Ripe berries, spice and dried flowers appear on the nose with some liquorice and meat. On the palate there is a mild acidity. Abundant, rounded and rustic tannins. Slightly chewy. Long finish.
2016

Macán 2016 is a robust and vibrant red wine. The bouquet reveals sweet berry, lavender, and blueberry aromas. On the palate, it is smooth and succulent, with flavors of ripe fruit and spices. The tannins are well-developed, providing greater structure than in other vintages. The finish is flavorful and lingering.
2014 Macán is a silky and elegant red wine with great aging potential. Its expressiveness is subdued but this becomes more developed and refined over the years. The nose reveals ripe red and black fruits with nuances of leather and spices. On the palate it is flavoursome, fresh and elegant. The fruit strengthens and is complemented by chocolate notes and velvety and elegant tannins.
