Macàn 2014

The harmony of beauty

Macán Clásico rises from the bowels of Rioja. A wine of yesterday and today that respects the most authentic and clean style of a prestigious land.

A wine that seeks harmony through the expression of its roots. The character of its birthplace gives it a special elegance, a persistent imprint, enveloping it in an unforgettable balance of sensitivity and expressiveness.

Macán and Macán Clásico are the joint vision that two great names in the wine world, Rothschild and Vega Sicilia, have of Rioja. These are wines of great elegance, where the harmony of their aromas and tastes show the authenticity of the land from which they come and their capacity to produce great wines.

Macán is considered more hidden, its great elegance will take shape with time, supported by the finesse of velvety tannins. A wine with a greater capacity for ageing than its younger brother and marked by a great minerality.

Its coexistence is due to the desire to preserve the Bordeaux tradition as a first and second wine are made. The two coexist permanently, and are treated in exactly the same way from the vineyard to the classification tasting. At this point, the different batches of wine from the vintage are separated, allowing the two wines to be seen individually and showing the differences between them.

Eye : Clear, brilliant wine. Very dark garnet colour.

Nose : Intense nose, but with very fine aromas. Important presence of black fruits (plum, blackberry, redcurrant), liquorice and fully ripe cherries. There is a certain floral note, with aromas of violets. Very spicy with chocolate and cocoa notes. Its nuances are broader and more subtle, more evocative. The nose evolves in the glass over time.

Palate : Silky, with a delicate entry. Great amplitude, volume and structure, without being heavy. Freshness. Balanced. Great perseverance and lots of travel. Very fruity finish, with well-presented tannins. Very long, stimulating.
