Selection of vintages"},"content":{"rendered":"
At Invinic Luxuy Wines<\/a> we love to offer our customers and friends the best wines with a selection of vintages. It is essential to appreciate wines in their proper time…..and that means time and rest.<\/p>\n When two of the big families from the wine world come together (Benjamin Rotschild<\/a> and Vega Sicilia<\/a>), then the result is the Mac\u00e1n<\/a>. This project arose at the beginning of the XXI century<\/strong>, in the mountains of the Sierra Cantabria, specifically in the municipalities of San Vicente and Labastida<\/strong> (Rioja<\/a>). For twelve years<\/strong> they worked with patience and dedication, so that the necessary quality could be achieved, with which these wines are produced: the Mac\u00e1n Cl\u00e1sico<\/a> and Mac\u00e1n Reserva<\/a>.
\nThis word is like the people of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, because the inhabitants of this wine village are called (“Macanes”<\/strong>). In fact the Mac\u00e1n is a tool that was used in antiquity for the vineyard, similar to what today is a hoe.<\/p>\n
\nCurrently it has over a hundred hectares of Tempranillo, of which 70 are used for wine making.<\/p>\n
\nBoth wines have a similar profile, the ageing is done in new barrels of French oak. After a period of time a decision is made by a tasting whether the wine can be bottled or not; if the quality should not be sufficient for the first wine, the Mac\u00e1n Reserva, then it is used for the Macan Cl\u00e1sico.<\/p>\n
