The Essence of Macán Rioja
Macán Rioja Vega Sicilia is more than just a wine; it is a landmark creation born from the remarkable partnership of Tempos Vega Sicilia and Compagnie Vinicole Baron Edmond de Rothschild. This flagship wine is a manifestation of their shared vision to produce world-class Rioja wines by blending legendary Spanish and Bordeaux winemaking philosophies.
Crafted exclusively from handpicked Tempranillo grapes, Macán represents the pinnacle of Rioja winemaking. The vineyards, spread over 92 carefully selected hectares, highlight Rioja’s distinctive terroir. Each grape benefits from alkaline sandy-clay soils, bestowing a remarkable freshness and complexity that enthusiasts will adore.
A Marvel of Craftsmanship
Macán’s journey from vine to bottle is a meticulous process that ensures every ounce of flavor is expertly realized. Harvesting takes place in October, allowing the grapes to mature perfectly, embodying flavors that are ripe, rounded, and sumptuously rich. Post-harvest, the grapes undergo gentle extraction and are aged in French oak barrels, employing cutting-edge techniques that preserve the purity of the fruit.
This elegant blend of tradition and innovation gives Macán a unique profile: intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits mingle with delicate floral undertones and hints of spice, culminating in a long, smooth finish that speaks volumes of its quality.
Distinctive Character and Tasting Profile
The result is a deep, vibrant ruby wine that captivates at first sight. On the nose, there’s a fusion of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, and subtle oak aromas that tantalize the senses. The palate is marked by a full-bodied elegance, underscored by smooth tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances its robust character.
Macán’s formidable aging potential allows it to develop further complexity over 10-20 years, enhancing the inherent notes of leather, spice, and earth as it matures.
Pairing Perfection
Macán’s versatility makes it an impeccable partner for a variety of culinary experiences. Elevate your dining with delicacies such as grilled lamb, rich stews like cordero asado, or pair it with fine Spanish cheeses. Its earthiness also harmonizes delightfully with mushroom and truffle dishes.
The Innovation Behind Macán
Creating Macán is not purely about the end product; it’s about the journey towards vinification excellence. The estate boasts a winery equipped with state-of-the-art technology and an ethos that merges traditional craftsmanship with modern precision.
The partnership is reflective of a profound commitment to both sustainability and the terroir of Rioja. Employing eco-friendly viticulture practices and extensive research, Vega Sicilia and Rothschild strive to honor the land while continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible in wine production.
A Wine for Collectors
Since its inception in 2009, Macán has consistently received critical acclaim, cementing its position as a premier modern Rioja wine. It regularly achieves high ratings, further propelling its desirability amongst collectors and wine connoisseurs alike.
Macán Rioja Vega Sicilia is more than a taste—it is an experience preserved in each pour. With limited production, this wine signifies both luxury and rarity, capturing the essence of an illustrious partnership and the region’s rich viticultural heritage.
