The nose is complex, blending notes of ripe macerated fruit and delicious spices. When aerated, the rich aromatic palette is followed by subtle notes of fine wood from the ageing process. This wine seduces the palate with its power, its tannic structure and its balance.
Founded in 1864 by Eloy Lecanda in Valbuena de Duero, Vega Sicilia stands as the absolute benchmark of Ribera del Duero. The estate spans more than 1,000 hectares, including 210 hectares of vineyards. Owned by the Alvarez family since 1982, the domaine primarily grows tinto fino and tempranillo. A pioneer in applying Bordeaux methods in Spain, Vega Sicilia created its two legendary cuvées, Unico and Valbuena, as early as 1915, which remain among the most prestigious red wines in the world.
