Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º

Vega Sicilia · Ribera del Duero · Spain

Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 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. The younger sibling of Único — five-year-aged Tempranillo from Spain's proudest estate.

In character, this core 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.
