The estate and the wine |
|
|
Vega Sicilia holds a unique place among the world’s greatest wines—a legend shaped by its land and its family, coveted by wine lovers across the globe.
These vineyards, nourished by the Duero River and tempered by a harsh climate, are meticulously tended to produce one of the finest wines in existence. The Álvarez family has crafted an icon that unites terroir, time, and human dedication in a pursuit of timeless excellence.
Único, Valbuena, Alión, Pintia, Macán, and Oremus form an extraordinary lineage where nothing is left to chance. Barrels are crafted on-site, ageing is exceptionally long, and entire vintages are sometimes set aside—all in the relentless pursuit of perfection. |

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. |
