Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia Macán Rioja 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 vintage in Rioja was marked by a mild winter followed by a warm, dry growing season, resulting in wines with excellent balance, ripe fruit, and refined tannins. Macán Rioja 2020, crafted by Vega Sicilia in partnership with Benjamin de Rothschild, exemplifies the modern face of Rioja DOCa, with a focus on purity and elegance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 94 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this 100% Tempranillo from the clay and limestone soils of Rioja Alta reveals an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and violets, complemented by subtle cedar and vanilla nuances from careful oak maturation. The palate is deep and harmonious, featuring supple tannins, lively acidity, and a persistent finish. Macán 2020 is a versatile companion for roasted lamb, grilled duck breast, and aged Manchego cheese; for an international twist, it also pairs well with braised pork belly.
Winery Background
Vega Sicilia, Spain’s most iconic winery, joined forces with the Rothschild family to establish Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia in Rioja, bringing together two dynasties of winemaking excellence. Their philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture, low yields, and meticulous hand-harvesting, ensuring only the finest fruit is selected for Macán. The estate’s commitment to expressing the unique terroir of Rioja Alta is evident in their precise winemaking approach, which marries traditional Rioja character with Bordeaux-inspired refinement. This collaboration has set a new benchmark for contemporary Spanish reds, combining heritage, innovation, and a dedication to crafting age-worthy wines of distinction.
