"The 2021 Macán [...] is serious, harmonious, and subtle, more elegant than any previous vintage, reflecting the freshness of the year. It is well-constructed, very well-proportioned, with beautiful balance, freshness, and abundant but fine tannins. It is one of the best vintages, if not the best to date. [...] 2026-2037" (Robert Parker 2026)

About wine:
The 2021 Macán comes from a year that saw above-average rainfall and a few hailstorms in June, which reduced yields, but the weather was favorable during the harvest. It contains 1% Graciano. It has an alcohol content of 14.5%, with a pH of 3.8 and five grams of acidity. This year, they used 100% indigenous yeasts, and the wine was aged in new barrels (50%) and 4,000-liter oak casks for 12 months, followed by an additional six months in 20,000-liter oak vats. This wine is serious, harmonious, and subtle, more elegant than any previous vintage, reflecting the freshness of the year. It is well-constructed, very proportionate, with beautiful balance, freshness, and abundant but fine tannins. It is one of the best vintages, if not the best to date. A total of 112,755 bottles, 3,354 magnums, and a few larger formats were produced. It was bottled in August 2023. 2026-2037

Wine rated (2025 guide) 18/20
About wine:
The 2021 vintage is a particularly refined expression of Macán. On the nose, it offers aromas of cedar, graphite, and a touch of Indian ink, while the palate reveals chalky precision and impressive depth. The oak is much more discreet than in previous vintages, allowing the wine's innate finesse to express itself clearly. The texture is smooth, almost like pure silk, and the finish is long, harmonious, and discreetly powerful. An elegant and precise vintage with excellent aging potential. 2026-2040
James Suckling
Wine rated (2025 guide) 96/100
About wine:
A depth of fresh black berries and black plums is enhanced by complex notes of graphite, balm, fine spices, and cocoa powder, with hints of bay leaves and minerals. The tannins are taut, nervous, and chalky. Long and tight, but well dissolved. One of the best examples of Macan. An exciting vintage. Drink from 2026.
