Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2016
Valbuena is the purest expression of red wine at Vega Sicilia and is aged over five winters in barrel then bottle, hence the name of the end product: Valbuena 5º. The crucial first year of ageing takes place in barrel, with 75% French oak and 25% American oak. In this first stage, the aim is to amplify the wine’s structure, sense of sweetness and density. The second year of ageing takes place in large wooden vats and, during this stage, it gains elegance, complexity, tension and subtlety. The 2016 vintage is a floral and elegant wine, juicy and tasty with focused and clean flavours. A very good vintage that can age for decades – one to keep!
Vega Sicilia Unico 2011
This is the estate’s flagship wine and the pinnacle of Ribera del Duero. A minimum age of ten years between barrel and bottle, one of the longest ageing processes in the world. Aromas & flavours of strawberries, autumnal leaves and fresh leather mingle with darker notes of bramble fruit and a hint of blackcurrants, sweet spice and dried chamomile flowers. Ripe and yet compact tannins lead to a long smooth finish. A delicious and yet brooding Único that will evolve beautifully.
