Nose

Lifted and aromatic on the bouquet, with ripe blackcurrant and blueberry leading the way, followed by delicate floral notes and a whisper of dark chocolate and finely roasted coffee bean.

Palate

Full-bodied yet refined, with a generous fruit-forward mouthfeel, bright and structured acidity, and grippy yet polished tannins that provide excellent backbone and age-worthiness.

Finish

Long, persistent and deeply satisfying finish, with lingering notes of dark fruits, spice and subtle oak integration that speak to exceptional terroir and careful barrel ageing.

Macán 2019 stands as one of the most compelling expressions of Tempranillo in all of Spain — the flagship wine of Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia, born from a visionary partnership between the iconic Álvarez family of Vega Sicilia and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, planted on the limestone-clay soils beneath the Sierra de Cantabria, this wine represents a Bordeaux-influenced philosophy applied with remarkable precision to one of Spain's most storied appellations.

For those looking to buy Macán 2019 online, this is a red wine that deliberately steps outside Rioja's traditional framework. Fermented in French oak vats over 10 to 15 days, it then matures for 16 to 18 months in new Burgundian oak barrels — a deliberate choice to favour elegance over the vanilla-driven style of American oak — before resting in bottle for a minimum of two years prior to release. The result is a structured, age-worthy Tempranillo of rare refinement.

The bouquet opens with lifted floral notes interwoven with ripe blackcurrant, blueberry and a whisper of dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee. On the palate, the mouthfeel is compact yet generously fruited, with a vibrant, precise acidity that keeps everything in balance. Grippy but refined tannins frame the mid-palate beautifully, while the finish is long, persistent and deeply satisfying — a hallmark of outstanding raw material and meticulous winemaking. Awarded 94 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and 95 by the Guía Peñín, Macán 2019 ranks among the finest Spanish red wines available to buy online.

At the table, it shines alongside grilled red meats, slow-roasted lamb, game and well-aged hard cheeses. Decanting for 30 to 45 minutes is recommended to allow this brooding, complex wine to fully open up and reveal its layered depth.
