This bodega is the new project of Vega Sicilia and Benjamin de Rothschild (owner of Lafite Rothschild). Started in 2004 in Samaniego (Rioja), 2009 was the first vintage to be released and and this Macán is the epitome of the exceptional work in these years. Knowledge, effort, patience and constant improvement have driven the growth of a project that currently comprises 98 hectares of vineyard. Only top vineyards from old vines from both Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. The bodega was built brand new and 2016 is the first millésime fully vinified in this modern bodega.

Fernando has always had a majority of white grapes in his vineyards. Along the years, the quality of his white wines has regularly improved. And now his blanco is at the top of Rioja's whites. Since 2011, he has also been producing a white reserva. Both cuvées are on par with the best white Burgundies. The grapes come from a 600 m high vineyard in San Vincente de la Sonsierra, on clay and limestone soils.
