A collaboration between Vega Sicilia and the Benjamin de Rothschild company, this a very modern take on old Rioja. In contrast to traditional Riojas like "El Puntido," the Macan Clasico has a youthfully fresh aromatic tone and upfront creamy, toasty oak spice like the wines of Vega Sicilia, while showing off the more elegant structure and soft red-fruited character of Cantabrian Mountain Tempranillo. That's especially true in the 2022 vintage, where the Atlantic Ocean's influence tempered the climate and created even more lifted and aromatic wines! Practices organic farming.
