About this vintage

Macán 2017 — Spring frost; a short, very concentrated harvest, with intense, spicy wines.

Tasting note

A year of spring frost and a short harvest, giving a concentrated, intense Macán. Dense, deep garnet. A ripe, spicy nose of stewed black fruit, leather, cocoa and pepper, of remarkable depth. On the palate it is fleshy and structured, with ripe yet polished tannins and a long, savoury finish. The most full-bodied Macán of the range; it calls for flavourful meats.

Ageing

Around 18 months in new French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing.

Grapes

Tempranillo 100%.

Food pairing

Red meats, small game, mushrooms, truffle and mature cheeses.

Serving

16–18 °C. Decant for 30–60 minutes.
