Macán is Vega Sicilia's most international project: an alliance between Spain's most legendary winery and the Rothschild family to create a great wine in Rioja. The name Macán comes from the Basque language and means 'the billy goat', an animal that symbolises strength and freedom in Basque culture.
2020 in Rioja was a year of perfect contrasts: autumn rains that replenished the soil, followed by an uneventful growing season and a warm summer with cool nights of Atlantic influence. Tempranillo grapes from old vines, some over 80 years old, reached impeccable phenolic and aromatic ripeness. The winemaking, overseen by both families, seeks to balance Rioja's power with the elegance and finesse that characterise the group's wineries.
Very lively ruby red. An elegant, aromatic nose: fresh red fruit — cherry, raspberry — with floral touches and notes of vanilla, cedar and sweet spices. A balanced, fresh palate of great persistence. Fine, well-integrated tannins. A long, spicy finish.
Rioja lamb, roast chicken, pasta with truffle, sautéed mushrooms, Iberian charcuterie. A versatile, elegant wine for the whole table.
16–17 °C · Uncork 30–45 minutes ahead.
