Product Description
Vega Sicilia Macán Rioja DOCa 2019 earned an impressive 94 points from both Robert Parker and James Suckling, celebrated as "one of the finest vintages" for this prestigious collaboration between Vega Sicilia and Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Crafted from 100% Tempranillo sourced from 40-year-old vines across elevated terraces at 500m altitude in Rioja Alta's Sonsierra subregion, this wine exemplifies modern Rioja excellence through meticulous viticulture and restrained yields of just 28 hl/ha.
Elegant Power & French Oak Refinement
Fermented in stainless steel with 10% indigenous yeasts, then aged 15 months in French oak foudres (45%) and barrels (55% new), the 2019 showcases remarkable balance despite the warm vintage. Expect attractive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, clove, cedar, and chocolate, opening to a full-bodied palate with fine, chewy tannins, juicy dark fruits, and flavors of vanilla, coffee, and Mediterranean herbs. The finish delivers velvety texture with graphite minerality and excellent aging potential through 2026+.
