Generación MC 2022
The fruitiest and most modern version of Marqués de Cáceres
Generación MC 2022 is a red wine that belongs to the high range of one of the most renowned and universal wineries in Rioja: Marqués de Cáceres.
Generación MC 2022 is a limited-edition red wine produced by Marqués de Cáceres, crafted from small plots located in the finest areas of Rioja Alta and Alavesa, where old Tempranillo vines aged between 65 and 90 years are cultivated.
In 1970, under the oenological guidance of the renowned Emile Peynaud, Enrique Forner founded Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres following his previous experience at the Bordeaux estate Château Camensac. Currently led by his daughter Cristina Forner, the winery continues to benefit from exceptional oenological consultancy through the French expert Michel Rolland. The company markets its wines in over 150 countries, making it one of the finest ambassadors of Rioja wines.
Marqués de Cáceres developed a new model in Rioja, breaking with the tradition of aging wines extensively in old barrels, instead introducing new oak and shorter, more respectful aging processes to ensure the fruit takes center stage, with the wood serving as a complementary element to add complexity. This approach, maintained for decades, is reflected with utmost elegance in their current range of wines.
The best example of this evolution is this Generación MC 2022. A red wine with a bold personality, perfect for discovering the charm of one of Spain's most globally recognized wineries. Exclusively crafted in exceptional vintages, it is an author's wine of great concentration and extraction, representing the most fruity, modern, and powerful version of this Rioja house. A true gem that pairs wonderfully with dishes such as grilled beef steak or oxtail stew in red wine.

Creators' opinion
Bordeaux color with a rim that recalls purple hues. A very intense color that hints at concentration and structure in the wine. Very powerful on the nose; black fruit and licorice, with balsamic notes and a hint of Mediterranean scrubland. The wood acts as a support, allowing the fruit to develop while adding complexity and spicy notes. As it opens in the glass, different sensations alternate, without a clear predominance, creating a complex and very interesting overall impression. Powerful entry on the palate, very full-bodied with mature tannins that provide a creamy and rounded sensation that fills the mouth. Despite its intensity, the tasting finish is very elegant and long, with a predominance of black fruits and spicy notes on the retronasal passage. After tasting, it keeps the senses active for a long time, making it highly enjoyable and enticing for consumption. Its elegance, combined with its power, makes it ideal for enjoyment in a variety of situations, both informal and as the perfect complement to meats and robust dishes with intense flavors.
