Vinification
After the alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature, comes the malolactic fermentation (30% of the blend does it in barrel). In total, Macán Clásico spends 12 months in French oak barrels (new or 2d year). It rests then 18 more months in bottle before being released on the market.

Trial analysis
The deep colour of a young wine.
The first nose of ripe red fruit and wood notes opens rapidly with some air.
This juicy, racy and spicy Tempranillo will fill up your mouth and tickle your tastebuds. Very seductive indeed.

Guía Peñin (94/100)

R. Parker (94/100)

Their second wine in the Bordeaux sense is the 2018 Macán Clásico, which in the cooler and late year (they picked between October 2nd and 14th) fermented in stainless steel and matured in 50% new French oak barrels, 10% American oak barrel and 40% used ones for 12 months. The wine has moderate ripeness and alcohol (14%) in a fresher, subtler and more elegant year with good freshness (a pH of 3.75) and balance. It's young and creamy, a baby that will improve as it burns down that fat. Separating the press wine by quality and aging it separately seems to have increased the precision. It has to be one of the finest vintages for this wine; it is round and nicely textured. It could be an improved version of the 2016.
They had a new vinification chamber in 2016 when they added 4,000-liter oak foudres for the aging of the Macán range of the joint venture between Benjamin de Rothschild and Vega Sicilia in Rioja. Production averages 300,000 bottles per year.

Wine estate

Two great names from two great wine countries got together with one ambition: make exceptional wines in a great wine region, the Rioja, under their two names.
