About the Vega Sicilia Macan 2020
Since the Rothschild and Álvarez families founded Macán in 2009, time has been our ally in creating our own style. Through these years of learning, discovering the soils and the vineyards, we approached the 2020 vintage in search of complementary elements for our wines: new plots and varieties such as Garnacha and Graciano.
The 2020 vintage was warm but had optimal rainfall throughout the growing season. This year's freshness is the result of harvesting at the right time to maintain the quality of the grapes and the inclusion of some Graciano.
94 Points - James Suckling
Black plums, currants, black beans and touches of sandalwood, ash and cigar box on the nose. Juicy and full-bodied, with really fine-grained tannins and a long, linear finish that lingers. Really poised. Needs at least two more years to come around.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Macán includes new plots and Garnacha and Graciano grapes, and they harvested a little earlier. They selected their best plots in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, and the grapes were cooled down for 24 hours before fermenting in oak vats with part of autochthonous yeasts. It matured 50% in new French oak barrels and 4,000-liter oak foudres for 16 months. The bottles were kept for three years before they're released. There were 98,835 bottles, 3,557 magnums and some larger formats produced.
