Bodegas Vega Sicilia 'Macán Clásico' Rioja 2022
Vintage Character
From the prestigious Rioja DOCa appellation, the 2022 Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico beautifully showcases the resilience of old Tempranillo vines. The 2022 vintage was characterized by an exceptionally warm and dry growing season, yet timely September rains preserved vital acidity and fostered phenolic ripeness, making it a highly concentrated, structure-driven vintage. Grown in the cooling foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria, the grapes thrive in calcareous clay soils that bestow the wine with exceptional mineral tension and vibrant freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this elegant red reveals complex layers of ripe blackberries, dark plums, wild herbs, and sweet baking spices. The medium-to-full-bodied palate delivers a seamless texture of velvety tannins and lively acidity, culminating in a persistent, cocoa-dusted finish. It pairs wonderfully with roasted rack of lamb, pan-seared duck breast with plum sauce, or slow-cooked Cantonese braised beef brisket.
Winery Background
This exceptional cuvée represents the visionary partnership between the legendary Vega Sicilia and the Baron Edmond de Rothschild family, aiming to redefine Rioja’s classic style. Utilizing meticulous hand-harvesting and plot-by-plot vinification, the winery ages the wine in fine French oak barrels to harmonize fruit purity with structured oak integration. The result is a benchmark Rioja Alta red that bridges Bordeaux precision with Spain’s rich winemaking heritage.
