History Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild

This bodega is a joint venture between two great names in the wine sector, who decided to produce wine together in a famous wine region. After years of efforts, with the help of Fernando Remírez de Ganuza, they could buy 130 parcels of high-quality vines, which represents some 90 hectares of Tempranillo in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos and El Villar. The joint-venture started in 2004 and its first vintage was 2009. Two wines are made here: the Macán Clásico (the 'entry-level wine') and the Macán, the bodega's top wine. Viticulture and winemaking are entrusted to Vega Sicilia.

Varieties Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild

The bodega decided to work with high altitude Tempranillo vines, between 20 and 80 years old. This is exactly Vega Sicilia's recipe: a strict selection of high-quality terroirs.

Terroir Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild

The bodega lies near Samaniego, but the vineyards are in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos and Elvillar, thus both in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.

Vinification Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild

The wines are neither old style Riojas, nor new style Riojas. Each parcel is vinified separately, only tasting decides which one will go to Macán Clásico or Macán. 100% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels (some new, but not all). The fruit of Tempranillo is always dominant over the wood.
