Vega Sicilia - Rioja DOC - Macan - Red - 2019

Wine:

The Rioja Macán Red 2019 delivers impressive power and concentration. The aging process was carefully adapted to the vintage, using slightly less new oak and increasing the use of large wooden vats (45%). The result is a bold, dense, and intensely structured wine with generous tannins. Despite its richness, this wine has remarkable aging potential—its finely tuned balance and extended maturation will allow it to reach its peak in 10 years or more. Rated 94/100 by Parker.

Color:

Intense and brilliant ruby red.

Nose:

A powerful and complex aromatic profile, with rich aromas of macerated fruit and a delicate toasted touch.

Palate:

A full-bodied and juicy structure with a smooth texture, well-integrated tannins, and a long, silky finish.

Serve at 14 to 16°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Roast beef with rosemary, beef and vegetable wok, lamb stew, flank steak with shallots.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2035
