Vega Sicilia Rothschild Macan Clasico

Vega Sicilia Rothschild Macan Clasico

A refined Rioja born from the collaboration between two legendary wine families - Vega Sicilia of Spain and the Rothschilds of Bordeaux. This wine expresses the elegance and precision of Tempranillo from the high-altitude vineyards of Rioja’s Sonsierra region. The combination of limestone-rich soils and cool mountain influence gives the wine its distinctive freshness and finesse.

Tasting Notes:

• Bright ruby in colour.
• The nose is vibrant and aromatic, opening with red cherry, raspberry, and wild berry fruit, layered with dried Mediterranean herbs and a subtle violet perfume.
• On the palate, it is supple and juicy, with fine, silky tannins and a lively backbone of acidity that gives energy and lift.
• The finish is long and elegant, fading on notes of red plum, gentle spice, and a delicate floral echo.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Macan

Macan is a contemporary Rioja winery created in 2004 as a collaboration between two of the wine world’s most prestigious families. Before releasing their first vintage in 2009, the partners spent several years carefully acquiring around 100 hectares of prime vineyard in Rioja Alavesa, establishing a strong foundation for quality-driven winemaking.

Located in Samaniego at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, the state-of-the-art winery reflects a modern approach to Rioja production. The estate follows a Bordeaux-inspired structure of a grand vin and second wine, both made exclusively from Tempranillo grown in limestone and sandy-clay soils. The focus is on precision, freshness and clear expression of terroir rather than traditional extended ageing styles.
