Macán Clásico is a wine attached to the territory, to the Rioja sonserrana that, from the foothills of the Cantabrian mountains, accumulates centuries of tradition, knowledge and wine culture. It shows the freshness, fruitiness, vivacity and delicacy of the terroir, providing depth and complexity.
Macán Clásico is a single varietal, 100% Tempranillo. Its grapes come from plots of limestone soils with a more clay-sandy profile. 2020 is a more generous, rainy, balanced and fluid vintage. Hard harvest due to Covid but in the vineyard we enjoyed the fruitiness of the grapes and more elegant skins. This was a year where we were able to push the extraction a bit more and where we gave a bit more weight to the oak, especially the American oak, to give more density to the wine.
Macán Clásico 2020 offers a livelier, more vibrant, more digestive, but at the same time fun expression. Macán Clásico is gradually consolidating its style.

Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia was born in 2004 as a result of the union of Tempos Vega Sicilia and the Barón Edmond de Rothschild Wine Company. Both firms share the idea of making great wines in Rioja, a unique, singular, inimitable wine region. After a period of five years of study of terroirs and acquisition of vineyards, the project takes shape in 2009: it is the first vintage of the winery's two wines, Macán and Macán Clásico.
Currently, Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia owns 92 hectares of vineyards, with Tempranillo as the predominant variety. They are all located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, north of the Ebro River, distributed among the municipalities of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos and Elvillar.
The philosophy is to offer a modern and particular vision of Rioja elaborations following the Bordeaux model of first and second wine.
