the 2018 macán has moderate alcohol (14%) and more freshness (ph 3.69), reflecting a cooler and rainier year that forced them to fine-tune the sorting and selection of the grapes, which fermented with selected yeasts. the élevage was in barrel (55%) and larger foudres for 16 months. 2018 was quite different from 2019, as it was cooler and rainier. the wine is serious and harmonious, which was a challenge, and winemaker gonzalo iturriaga told me that they had to be very careful and sort and select the grapes. it's textured and elegant, a style that follows the path of the 2016; it's elegant but with depth, managing the élevage in foudre better, which was a learning process they started in 2016. 74,570 bottles, 2557 magnums and some larger formats produced. it was bottled in september 2020.
