The Macán Clásico is a joint venture between the Rothschild and Álvarez families that, since 2009, has been interpreting the diversity and terroir of Rioja in a distinctive style. For the 2020 vintage, in addition to Tempranillo, small amounts of Garnacha and Graciano from selected plots were included for the first time to further enhance the wine’s complexity and freshness. The grapes come from vines averaging 40 years old, grown in the premier vineyards of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos, Navaridas, and Elvillar at an elevation of approximately 500 meters.

The grapes are hand-harvested into 12-kg crates and carefully selected. Aging takes place over 16 months in barriques and large oak barrels. The wine then matures for an additional 28 months in the bottle, during which time it develops its characteristic balance, elegance, and complexity.

On the nose, the Macán Clásico is powerful yet refined, with a multi-layered bouquet. On the palate, it harmoniously combines richness and elegance. Its balanced structure, precise fruit, and fine tannins lend it depth, while the vintage’s freshness and the Graciano component provide additional vibrancy and a long, balanced finish.

This Rioja pairs excellently with braised lamb, beef tenderloin, game dishes, and aged Manchego. Thanks to its structure and aging potential, it also makes an outstanding accompaniment to festive meals and special occasions.

Vega Sicilia Alión Ribera del Duero DO 2022

The 2020 vintage of Alión from the legendary Bodegas Vega Sicilia is once again a phenomenal feast for the senses. The Spanish cult red wine has once again received top marks from international wine critics (e.g. 94 points in the Wine Advocate, 95 points from James Suckling). And what can we say: anyone lucky enough to open a bottle of Vega Sicilia Alión will quickly join in the praise.The bouquet of the pure Tempranillo (or Tinto Fino, as the grape variety is usually called in the Ribera del Duero region) is irresistibly captivating. Complex, intense notes of blackberries, blueberries, cherries and pomegranate in a wonderful interplay with notes of cocoa and vanilla. Nuances of violets and a subtle minerality round off the bouquet. Suckling comments on the bouquet of the Alión 2020: "Ripe, dark plums and black cherries with violets, stone, coffee and graphite. Also fine notes of balsamic fruit and cocoa powder."On the palate, this outstanding creation from Vega Sicilia is dry and at the same time intensely fruity, with masterfully integrated, dense tannins. Suckling finds these idiosyncratic words: "Full-bodied and juicy with an iron fist of tannins, yet so velvety and polished. Very long, concentrated finish that shows a lot of finesse and layers." Aromas of dates, wild berries and honey complete the taste experience, which lingers for an impressively long time.The impenetrable purple-red wine comes from vines that are almost 40 years old. The Spanish red wine was matured in barriques for around 15 months. Bodegas y Viñedos Alión itself recommends enjoying the Tempranillo at a drinking temperature of 18 degrees. It is a fantastic accompaniment to high-quality beef or lamb. Also ideal with game dishes. Bottled in May 2022, the Alión 2020 has a cellaring potential of up to 20 years.
