Macán Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia was born in 2004 from the collaboration between the Tempos Vega Sicilia Group, owned by the Álvarez family, and the Compañía Vinícola Barón Edmond de Rothschild with the aim of making wines of great elegance in Rioja. The winery is based in Samaniego, a small town about 350 km north of Madrid. After a long period of study and research on the most suitable land located in the area, in 2009, the Macán company produced the first vintage of its wines: Macán Clásico and Macán, presented on the market in 2013.
The bodega's total vineyard area now extends to 92 hectares located on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria north of the Ebro. The river plays a strategic role because its presence mitigates the temperatures of the area. The Tempranillo grapes for the wines are selected from small plots of vineyards, arranged on terraces, made up of clayey-limestone soils.
The Benjamin de Rothschild - Vega Sicilia Macan is an elegant and racy red wine showing a cherry color in the glass. On the nose, there is a beautiful intensity of forest fruits, sweet spices, and cocoa. On the palate, it is powerful and intense, complex and round. Have it with Pata Negra, pork tenderloin, meat stews or roast lamb.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
