Vega Sicilia Único

Vega Sicilia · Ribera del Duero · Spain

Vega Sicilia Único is an red wine from Spain, in the Ribera del Duero region (North-central Spain, along the Duero river in the province of Burgundy, over 800m above sea level.), made principally from Tempranillo. Spain's most legendary wine, aged for years before release.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic tempranillo profile — cherry, dried fig, cedar, cocoa — with the structural stamp of Ribera del Duero and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
