Macán Clásico 2022 is a captivating red wine. It hails from the region's earliest harvest and marks the first vintage to ferment with 100% indigenous yeasts. It boasts a juicy and rounded character, where ripe fruit intertwines with delicate spicy notes and a subtle oak backdrop. On the palate, it reveals an elegant balance and fine tannins that caress the palate, while its warmth reflects the generosity of a challenging year that nonetheless yielded exceptional results. Each sip is a small tribute to triumph over the adverse conditions of its vintage and to the expertise of its winemaker.
