Benjamin de Rothschild - Vega Sicilia Macán Rioja Tempranillo 2018

Modern Expression of Rioja Elegance: Macán 2020 blends finesse, complexity, and richness, showcasing a refined take on traditional Rioja crafted by the renowned Rothschild-Vega Sicilia partnership. 100% Tempranillo with Graciano Nuance: Primarily Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano, this red wine reveals aromas of black cherry, dark fruit, violets, and elegant oak, underpinned by plush texture and citrus-like acidity. Premium Vineyards in Sierra de Cantabria: Produced from 106 meticulously selected vineyard plots on limestone-rich soils east of Haro, ensuring fragrant and concentrated fruit from low-yield vines. Balanced and Cellar-Worthy Vintage: 2020's warm, mildly wet conditions resulted in optimal fruit set and slow ripening, contributing to a medium-bodied red with depth, ripe tannins, and vibrant structure. Crafted for Longevity: While expressive now, Macán 2020 promises to evolve gracefully over the next 10-15 years, offering layers of spice, liquorice, and dark chocolate with time.
