Description
The Macan Clasico is made with 100% Tempranillo from prime vineyard sites in the heart of Rioja. This joint venture between two of the wine world’s greatest names showcases the very best of Rioja. The wine spends 15 months in mostly new very fine and fine grained French oak barrels, the remainder ages in one year old barrels, before resting in bottle until it’s release (Spring 2025).
A spicy, fresh and accessible Macan Clasico that shows tapenade, dark spices, red pepper and black cherries. Plenty of fruit, with a medium body and a round, approachable finish loaded with spiced strawberries and cherries. Tannins have already softened. An elegant and lengthy wine. Drink 2025+
Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com (August 2024)
The fruit rules over the wood. This is the most vibrant Vega Sicilia wine. Sweet tannin, accompanied by hints of violet and the impact of very black fruit with a high level of ripening. Graphite, pink pepper and hints of plum. It’s a little light-hearted for a Vega Sicilia wine. Overall, friendly tannin, ample and very drinkable. The most approachable of Tempos Vega Sicilia’s wines. Drink 2024 – 2035
