From the slopes of Sierra de Cantabria, Macn Clsico is deeply rooted in the territory, in Rioja\’s Sonsierra, an area with centuries of winemaking tradition, wisdom and culture. Deep and complex, it reflects the freshness, fruitiness, liveliness and finesse of this terroir.

The 2021 vintage was outstanding: healthy, fresh and very juicy grapes with crisp skins. For the second year running, we made a field blend with Garnacha grapes.

This exceptional vintage, combined with the greater expertise of the technical team,makes this Macn Clsico 2021 the best to date. With a well-defined style, it is lively,fresh and classy.

2021 Vineyard Cycle

The 2021 vintage benefited from above-average rainfall, providing adequate water reserves in the vineyards. The spring was mild and stable, favouring a frost-free bud break and smooth flowering and fruit set.

On 16 June, heavy thunderstorms with hail in some plots affected seven hectares, but the rest of the vineyards were spared.

The weather was stable during the harvest, with mild temperatures and little temperature variation, no fog and no rain
