Macán Clásico is a wine firmly rooted in the Sonsierra in La Rioja. Drawing its character from the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria,
the wine has inherent freshness, fruitiness, and vibrancy. The Macán Clásico is vinified in stainless-steel tanks to maximise fruit purity.
The winemaking team was attentive to integrating the oak seamlessly during the subsequent maturation. The wine is aged for10 months in barrels (new and second-use French extra-fine grained oak). Maturation is completed with 18 months in bottle before release.
The Vintage. Spring was mild with ideal flowering. A hailstorm on 16 June affected 7 hectares. Harvest occurred in stable weather 19thSeptember to 7th October.

Critic Review
16.5/20 jancisrobinson.com "Stylistically, the 2022 continues the estate’s recent shift toward greater fruit purity. Fresh black fruit dominates – blackberry, black cherry – accompanied by a delicate violet lift. The tannins are particularly soft at the core of the palate, giving the wine an ease and flow that make it one of Tempos Vega Sicilia’s most immediately drinkable releases. Less ripe in profile than the 2021, and with slightly darker fruit tones, it shows a charming balance of fruit over oak, rounded out by subtle notes of lactic creaminess and pink pepper. A graceful, unpretentious vintage of Macán Clásico."
